The Kennedy half dollar holds a special place in the hearts of Americans. Shortly after their release in 1964, these coins disappeared from circulation. Their intrinsic silver value, combined with the nation’s mourning following President Kennedy’s assassination, made them too precious to be commonly used. In an attempt to address the issue, the U.S. Mint altered the composition, transitioning from 90% silver and 10% copper in the 1964 coins to 40% silver and 60% copper for those struck from 1965 to 1970. However, the public’s access to these coins remained limited.
To resolve this, the Kennedy half dollar underwent another composition change. From 1971 to Date, the coins feature a pure copper inner core and an outer layer comprised of 75% copper and 25% nickel, eliminating the silver content entirely. In 1976, a special coin was minted to commemorate the Bicentennial.
All Kennedy half dollar coins possess a uniform diameter of 30.6 mm. The weight of these coins shifted from 12.50 grams in 1964 to 11.50 grams from 1965 to 1970, and currently stand at 11.34 grams.
Dansco Coin Albums are renowned for their reliability and practicality, employing metal screws to secure the pages. This design facilitates easy addition and replacement of coins, providing collectors with the flexibility to modify their albums as their collections evolve.
