1971-S Kennedy Half Dollar NGC PF67*

The First Kennedy Clad Half Dollar With A Special Star Designation

The story of the Kennedy Half Dollar is now numismatic legend: after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in November of 1963, Congress moved quickly to ensure that the United States Mint would be able to create a commemorative half dollar featuring the former president’s profile along with the Presidential Seal. The coins were released in January of the following year—just a few short months after JFK’s passing. Originally intended as a one-year-only release, the coin proved to be so popular that it replaced the existing Benjamin Franklin Half Dollar, and Kennedy has remained the face of the denomination ever since.
