The 1998 Kennedy Half Dollar is a coin featuring President John F. Kennedy on the obverse and the presidential seal on the reverse. It is part of the series introduced in 1964 to honor Kennedy after his assassination. The coin is composed of a clad composition, which includes a core of pure copper and outer layers of copper-nickel. Collectors often seek out coins from different years and mint marks, and the 1998 edition can be found in uncirculated and proof conditions, which may increase its numismatic value.
