JFK Half Dollar Mint Mark Collection

Collection features one coin from each of the three U.S. Mints that have struck the coin for circulation: Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco. The coins come in a custom display wallet with a Certificate of Authenticity. The first Kennedy Half Dollar was minted in 1964 as a tribute to President John F. Kennedy, who was assassinated on November 22, 1963. It has been struck each year, but since 2002 the coins were not released into circulation but were made only for collectors. The Kennedy Half Dollar is almost never seen in circulation. The portrait was first used on Kennedy’s official Presidential Medal struck by the U.S. Mint. Jacqueline Kennedy, the President’s widow, personally approved the coin design. The reverse depicts the Presidential coat of arms. The mint mark can be found on the obverse, above the two middle numbers in the date. The Kennedy Half Dollar is the most popular U.S. coin with collectors around the world, but few people ever manage to own all three mint marked coins in a single collection like this.
