About Kennedy half dollars
Kennedy coins are of grief-struck beginnings. In November 1963, President John F. Kennedy, a charismatic and popular president from Massachusetts, the youngest President the country had ever elected, was on a car tour in Dallas with his wife seated next to him in an open convertible. The president was shot by an assassin there and killed, a horrific scene caught on film that shook the country deeply. It is known as 'the day America lost its innocence.''
Just 5 months afterward, the Kennedy half dollar went into circulation. The first day banks distributed them, there were widespread reports people lined up for blocks outside bank before opening. By the end of that day, widespread reports were all banks sold out of the President Kennedy half dollars by noon.
The Historic Bicentennial Kennedys are always collectible
They marked America's 200th birthday. And in three short years, when bicentennial halves are 50 years old, America will mark its 250th birthday.
Kennedy Bicentennials always attract a premium because of their 2-year-only custom designs and the landmark, 1776 - 1976 dual date. These halves are one of only three bicentennial coins produced - joined by the Washington quarters and Eisenhower dollar coins. They are the only coins in American history with a dual date to have been placed in general circulation - as if they were an ordinary coin.
They are anything but.
The bicentennials were both produced and circulated in the years 1975 and 1976, using the same dual date on them all, 1776 - 1976. Because of their unchanged date for two years, there are no circulating quarters, halves or dollar coins dated 1975.
All three bicentennial coins also have custom designs. On the Kennedys, the usual image of a heraldic eagle on the reverse is replaced with the image of Independence Hall in Philadelphia, where the Declaration of Independence was signed.
The Kennedy bicentennial is a key coin in the Kennedy half dollar series and it is forever collectible at a premium because it is both history made and history kept.
