The coin in question is a 1993 Kennedy Half Dollar, minted in Philadelphia (designated by the 'P' mint mark). This coin is part of the Kennedy Half Dollar series, which was initially introduced in 1964 to honor President John F. Kennedy following his assassination. This particular coin has a diameter of 30.6 millimeters and weighs 11.34 grams. It is composed of a copper-nickel clad on a copper core, a standard material composition for this series since the 1970s. The denomination is 50 cents (or 0.5 USD), and it is classified under the type 'Coins' and sub-type 'Coins'. With a total mintage of 15,510,000, this coin is considered relatively common, yet it remains a staple among collectors and those interested in U.S. coinage. The Kennedy Half Dollar is known for its distinctive design, which features an image of President Kennedy on the obverse (front) side, and the Presidential Seal on the reverse (back) side. This particular example, minted in 1993, is a mint strike, which means it was produced directly from the mint using newly prepared dies, ensuring a high level of detail and quality. Due to its relatively recent date and substantial mintage, the coin typically holds a value that is close to its face value unless it is found in uncirculated condition or possesses unique collector interest. Overall, the 1993 Kennedy Half Dollar is a beautiful representation of modern American coinage, emblematic of a significant historical figure.
