The Kennedy half dollar holds a special place in American numismatics. Shortly after its release in 1964, this coin vanished from circulation. The combination of its valuable silver content and the nation’s profound grief following President Kennedy’s assassination rendered it impractical for everyday use. In an effort to address this issue, the U.S. Mint altered the coin’s composition. The 1964 coins, made of 90% silver and 10% copper, were replaced by ones struck from 1965 to 1970, which contained 40% silver and 60% copper. However, these changes failed to reintroduce the coins into circulation, and they remained seldom seen by the public.
Consequently, the silver content was completely eliminated from Kennedy half dollars minted from 1971 to the present. These coins feature a pure copper inner core and an outer layer composed of 75% copper and 25% nickel. Notably, a special coin commemorating the Bicentennial was struck in 1976.
All Kennedy half dollars have a diameter of 30.6 mm, providing a consistent size for collectors to appreciate. The weight of these coins decreased from 12.50 grams in 1964 to 11.50 grams from 1965 to 1970, and currently stands at 11.34 grams.
