The 1971 Kennedy Half Dollar, part of a series issued by the United States Mint, features the profile of President John F. Kennedy on the obverse and the Presidential Seal on the reverse. This coin marked the first year of production for the clad composition version of the Kennedy Half Dollar, composed of a copper-nickel clad. It is commonly collected for its numismatic value, especially in higher grades or in uncirculated condition, though it typically has a lower intrinsic value due to its abundant mintage. Collectors often seek specific errors or varieties, as well as coins with notable toning.
