Kennedy Half Dollar 1971

Enhance your collection with this 1971 Kennedy Half Dollar, presented in MS/BU (Mint State/Brilliant Uncirculated) condition and housed in a protective holder. This classic U.S. coin features the iconic portrait of President John F. Kennedy, one of the most recognized designs in American coinage.

Beginning in 1971, Kennedy Half Dollars intended for circulation were struck in a copper-nickel clad composition, replacing the 40% silver composition used from 1965 through 1970. This makes the 1971 issue the first regular circulating clad Kennedy Half Dollar.

This example exhibits the attractive luster and sharp details expected of a Brilliant Uncirculated coin, making it an excellent addition for collectors completing a Kennedy Half Dollar series or building a modern U.S. coin collection.
