Kennedy Half Dollars are a series of coins produced by the United States Mint, first issued in 1964 to honor President John F. Kennedy following his assassination. The coin features a profile of Kennedy on the obverse and the Presidential Seal on the reverse. The standard composition includes a 90% silver alloy for coins minted from 1964 to 1970, with later issues transitioning to a clad composition. The 2024 Kennedy Half Dollar will continue this tradition, reflecting both numismatic interest and historical significance, particularly among collectors focusing on U.S. coinage from the mid-20th century. The Fifty Cents denomination is popular among collectors due to its larger size and diverse designs over the years.
