Key Fact
Description
This is a 1968 Kennedy Half Dollar, a circulating commemorative coin featuring President John F. Kennedy on the obverse. The design is the work of Gilroy Roberts, a renowned sculptor. The coin is made of cupronickel and displays 'IN GOD WE TRUST' and the year '1968'. This particular coin appears to be in circulated condition, exhibiting typical wear marks consistent with its age and use as currency.
History
The Kennedy Half Dollar was first minted in 1964, following the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The coin's design was approved shortly after his death, aiming to honor his memory. The 1968 mintage occurred during a period of significant social and political change in the United States, making coins from this era historical artifacts.
Facts
The Kennedy Half Dollar quickly became a popular coin due to its association with the beloved president. While initially intended to be made of 90% silver, public demand and rising silver prices led to a reduction in silver content starting in 1965. This 1968 version is composed of a cupronickel clad composition, reflecting the shift in minting practices.
Value Fact
The value of a 1968 Kennedy Half Dollar typically depends on its condition. Circulated examples, like the one pictured, generally have a numismatic value close to their metal content or a few dollars. Uncirculated or proof versions, particularly those with high mint errors or from special mint sets, can command higher prices. Demand remains steady among collectors of US coinage.
