Collectible coins are items valued for their rarity, historical significance, or artistic merit. The United States 50-cent Kennedy Half Dollar, first minted in 1964, commemorates President John F. Kennedy following his assassination. Coins from 1979 would be part of a produced series, although the half dollar was not actively minted for circulation in that specific year, leading to limited collectible interest. Collectors often seek specific mint marks, grades, and condition, which significantly influence the coin's value in the market.
