Collectible coins, such as the Kennedy Half Dollar, are often sought after by numismatists for their historical significance and unique characteristics. The Kennedy Half Dollar was first minted in 1964 to honor President John F. Kennedy after his assassination. The 1979 San Francisco issue is noteworthy due to its limited mintage and is part of a series that includes both circulation and proof versions, making it particularly desirable among collectors. The coin typically features a portrait of Kennedy on the obverse, while the reverse showcases the presidential seal.
