PCGS Graded Kennedy Half Dollars
The bullet from an assassin's weapon that ended the life of U.S. President John F. Kennedy in 1963 is still remembered when the annually produced half dollar is struck in his honor. Emotions ran high and beginning in 1964, by an act of Congress, Kennedy's effigy quickly replaced that of Franklin's on the obverse of the half dollar. Thus ending the 15-year-old series of Franklin half dollars introduced in 1948. By law, the designs of circulating coins are not supposed to change in less than 25 years without congressional approval. (Read more below listings)

The 1964 Kennedy half dollar was eagerly sought by souvenir hunters, collectors and those nostalgic for the "Kennedy era," which JFK himself imagined a modern incarnation of King Arthur's Camelot. Despite a mintage exceeding 273 million from Philadelphia and an additional 156 million from Denver, speculators hoarded the coins. A year earlier, just over 89 million half dollar coins were produced from both Mints combined when Franklin's portrait was used.
