The 1972 Kennedy Half Dollar, minted in Philadelphia, is part of the series commemorating President John F. Kennedy following his assassination in 1963. This coin features a portrait of Kennedy on the obverse and the Presidential Seal on the reverse. With a composition of 40% silver and 60% copper, the 1972 issue is a notable collectible, particularly in higher grades, due to its significance in the Kennedy series and the era it represents. The Philadelphia mint mark is indicated by the absence of a mint mark on the coin, as it was not produced with one.
