Collectible coins, such as the Kennedy Half Dollar, are numismatic items that are often sought after by collectors due to their historical significance, rarity, or unique features. The 50-cent Kennedy Half Dollar was first minted in 1964, commemorating President John F. Kennedy after his assassination. However, coins produced in 1965 and later did not contain silver, as they were made of a clad composition of copper and nickel. The Philadelphia Mint produced these coins without a mint mark, making them easily distinguishable in collections. Collectors often look for specific years, mint marks, and conditions to determine a coin's value and desirability.
