The 1988 Kennedy Half Dollar is a coin produced by the United States Mint, part of the series honoring President John F. Kennedy. These half dollars are composed of 91.67% copper and 8.33% nickel, resulting in a distinctive clad composition that is characteristic of modern U.S. coinage. The coin features a portrait of Kennedy on the obverse and an eagle with a shield on the reverse. Collectors often seek this coin for its historical significance and as part of the broader collection of Kennedy Halves, which were first issued in 1964. The 1988 edition specifically has a relatively high mintage, making it less common among rare collectibles but still of interest to numismatists.
