The Kennedy Half Dollar, introduced in 1964, was created to honor President John F. Kennedy following his assassination. The 1978 Kennedy Half Dollar is part of a series that includes both circulated and uncirculated coins, and it features the iconic portrait of Kennedy on the obverse and the presidential seal on the reverse. Collectors often seek out specific years and mint marks, with 1978 being significant for its production in both Philadelphia (no mint mark) and Denver (D mint mark). This coin represents a blend of historical significance and numismatic interest, making it a popular choice among collectors of United States coins.
