The coin in question is a 1987 Kennedy Half Dollar, produced at the Denver Mint, marked with the mint mark 'D'. This half dollar, denominated at 50 cents, is part of the Kennedy Half Dollar series, which honors the 35th President of the United States, John F. Kennedy, following his assassination in 1963. Manufactured using copper-nickel clad copper, this coin measures 30.6 millimeters in diameter and weighs 11.34 grams. The coin features a unique design: the obverse (front) displays a portrait of President Kennedy, while the reverse (back) depicts the Presidential Seal. With a total mintage of 2,890,758 coins for the year 1987, this particular piece is one of many that were created to circulate within the United States. As a standard mint strike, it reflects typical qualities for this coin type. Although the dimensions are listed as zero for width and height, it's common to refer only to the diameter for coins. The 1987 Kennedy Half Dollar remains a popular item among collectors and numismatists alike, due in part to its historical significance and relatively low mintage compared to other years in the series.
