The 1996 Kennedy Half Dollar is a notable coin in the United States coinage series, issued as part of the ongoing tribute to President John F. Kennedy. This particular half dollar is crafted in a Proof production style, which means it was produced with a special minting process to achieve a high-quality finish, characterized by its mirror-like surface and sharp details. This coin contains 90% silver and 10% copper, giving it intrinsic numismatic value beyond its face value of 50 cents. With a mintage of 775,021, it holds some collectible interest among numismatists, especially those focusing on silver coins or Kennedy series enthusiasts. The 1996 Kennedy Half Dollar does not have a mint mark, indicating that it was produced at the Philadelphia Mint. Although this coin does not feature a designer's name, it carries the recognizable likeness of President Kennedy on the obverse side, alongside the classic depiction of the Presidential Seal on the reverse. Its dimensions are standard for half dollars, but specific measurements such as weight, diameter, and width have not been provided in this instance. Collectors often seek out Proof coins for their pristine condition and aesthetic appeal, making the 1996 edition a worthy addition to any collection of United States coins.
