The reverse displays the Presidential Seal, designed by Frank Gasparro, surrounded by the inscription "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and "HALF DOLLAR."
History
The Kennedy Half Dollar series began in 1964 following the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. It was a swift tribute to a beloved leader, intended to honor his memory. The 1980 mintage continued this tradition, with coins struck at the Philadelphia Mint.
Facts
These coins are made of a copper-nickel clad composition, giving them a silver-like appearance without the high intrinsic value of silver dollars. The design has remained largely unchanged since its inception, making it a recognizable piece of American coinage and a popular collectible.
Value Fact
The value of a 1980 Kennedy Half Dollar typically depends on its condition and whether it is part of a mint set or has special grading. Circulated examples are generally worth their face value, but uncirculated or proof versions can command higher prices among collectors.
