Copper-nickel clad Kennedy Half Dollar coin dated 1991

The Kennedy Half Dollar was introduced in 1964 to honor President John F. Kennedy following his assassination in 1963. The coin was designed by Gilroy Roberts (obverse) and Frank Gasparro (reverse), and has been minted continuously since its introduction. Originally composed of 90% silver, the composition changed to copper-nickel clad in 1971 for general circulation. Kennedy Half Dollars remain popular among coin collectors and American history enthusiasts, particularly those interested in presidential memorabilia and 20th-century U.S. coinage. The 1991 issue represents a standard circulation strike from the Philadelphia Mint, appealing to collectors building date sets or those interested in modern U.S. coinage. These coins hold nostalgic value for many Americans and serve as an accessible entry point for beginning numismatists interested in collecting presidential commemorative coinage.
