DETAILED DESCRIPTION:
This is a 1971-P Kennedy Half Dollar struck at the Philadelphia Mint — a classic and iconic piece of American coinage history. The "P" mint mark designates Philadelphia production, and this issue marks a significant transitional year: 1971 was the first year the Kennedy Half Dollar was struck in copper-nickel clad composition for general circulation, following the end of the 40% silver clad issues used from 1965 to 1970.
First introduced in 1964 to honour President John F. Kennedy following his assassination in November 1963, the Kennedy Half Dollar remains one of the most beloved and widely collected coins in US numismatic history. The reverse features the Presidential Coat of Arms — a heraldic eagle with shield — designed by Frank Gasparro, while the obverse carries Gilroy Roberts' dignified portrait of President Kennedy.
Despite being a circulation issue, the 1971-P Half Dollar saw relatively limited use in everyday commerce, as half dollars were increasingly hoarded by the public during this era — making well-preserved examples a worthwhile find for any US coin collector.
Obverse: Portrait of President John F. Kennedy by Gilroy Roberts
Reverse: Presidential Coat of Arms by Frank Gasparro
Diameter: 30.61 mm | Weight: 11.34 g | Composition: Copper-Nickel Clad
A solid example of this popular American classic — a great addition to any US type set or Kennedy collection.
