The Kennedy Half Dollar, first issued in 1964 to honor President John F. Kennedy, is a popular collectible coin in the United States. The 1973 Kennedy Half Dollar is part of the regular coinage and features a depiction of Kennedy on the obverse, while the reverse showcases the Presidential Seal. As a coin from the base metal era (post-1964), it primarily consists of 91.67% copper and 8.33% nickel, lacking the silver content of earlier issues. Collectors often seek high-grade examples, variations, or errors for added value.
