Historical Significance:
Introduced in 1964 to honor the memory of President John F. Kennedy, the half dollar quickly became a patriotic symbol and collector favorite. Designed by Gilroy Roberts and Frank Gasparro, the Kennedy Half Dollar remains a cornerstone of modern U.S. coinage. The 2006-S proof issue continues that legacy with superior craftsmanship and eye appeal.
