Kennedy Half Dollars are a series of 50-cent coins minted in the United States, first issued in 1964 to honor President John F. Kennedy following his assassination. The 1972 San Francisco Kennedy Half Dollar, bearing the mintmark "S," was produced primarily for collectors and is part of the Special Mint Set (SMS) series. These coins can be identified by their distinctive design featuring a portrait of Kennedy on the obverse and the presidential seal on the reverse. The 1972-S Kennedy Half Dollar is considered collectible, especially in higher grades, due to its limited mintage and association with the legacy of JFK.
