The 1987 Kennedy Half Dollar is a notable collectible coin from the United States, produced in limited quantities. It was struck to honor President John F. Kennedy, who was assassinated in 1963. The 1987 issue is significant as it was the first year that the coin was minted in both Philadelphia (no mint mark) and Denver (D mint mark) since the series was resumed in 1975. Coin collectors often seek out the 1987 Kennedy Halves due to their unique minting circumstances and the historical significance of the series. The coins are comprised of 50% silver and 50% copper, although the 1987 versions did not contain any silver, as they were produced from clad metal.
