coins \ Coin \ United States of America \ 50c \ Kennedy Halves \ 1970
The 1970 Kennedy Half Dollar is notable for being the last year that the coin was produced for circulation in silver, containing 40% silver. It features the profile of President John F. Kennedy on the obverse and the Presidential Seal on the reverse. While most 1970 Kennedy Halves were minted in Philadelphia and Denver for collectors, a small number of proof coins were also struck. The rarity and silver content contribute to its appeal among collectors, making it a sought-after item in the numismatic community.
