The Kennedy half dollar, first minted in 1964, is a fifty-cent coin issued by the United States Mint. It is a memorial to the assassinated 35th president of the United States John F. Kennedy. It was authorized by Congress just over a month after his death. Use of existing works by Mint sculptors Gilroy Roberts and Frank Gasparro to be prepared quickly, and striking of the new coins began in January 1964. The silver coins were hoarded upon their release in March 1964 by collectors and those interested in a memento of the late president. Although the Mint greatly increased production, the denomination was seldom seen in circulation. Continued rises in the price of silver increased the hoarding—many early Kennedy half dollars have been melted for their silver content. Starting with 1965-dated coins, the percentage of fine silver was reduced from 90% to 40% (silver clad), but even with this change the coin saw little circulation. All coins posted at the asking price has been thoroughly researched via PCGS and NGC Price Guides as well as the most recent sales through established and prominent auctions. The coin condition has also been researched through these as well. No coin price listing by Bolen Collectables is based on opinion. Thanks for looking!
