coins \ Coin \ United States of America \ 50c \ Kennedy Halves \ 1965
Kennedy Half Dollars were minted in the United States starting in 1964 and continue to be produced in various forms. The coins are primarily composed of copper and nickel, with the original 1964 coins made from 90% silver. The 50-cent pieces commemorated President John F. Kennedy following his assassination, featuring his profile on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse. The 1965 edition, along with subsequent years, typically lacks the silver content of the original coins, which makes them less valuable for bullion purposes but still collectible among numismatists.
