Description
This is an authentic Half Dollar (50 Cents) coin from the United States of America, issued by the U.S. Mint.
The obverse features the portrait of President John F. Kennedy, first introduced in 1964 as a tribute after his assassination.
The reverse displays the Presidential Seal β an eagle holding an olive branch and arrows, symbolizing peace and strength.
Older half dollars, especially those minted before 1971, were made of 90% silver (1964) or 40% silver (1965β1970) and are now highly valuable collectibles for both coin collectors and silver investors.
