Kennedy Half Dollar Coin

The item depicted is a Kennedy Half Dollar coin, specifically showing the obverse side which features the left-facing profile bust of President John F. Kennedy. The coin appears to be made of a silver-colored metallic alloy, consistent with the cupro-nickel cladding used for US half dollars since 1971, or potentially a silver alloy if it's an earlier issue. The surface exhibits a fair amount of reflectivity, suggesting it is not heavily tarnished, though some areas of light wear or circulation marks are visible, particularly around the higher points of Kennedy's portrait and the field. The inscription 'LIBERTY' is visible above his head along the rim, and 'IN GOD WE TRUST' is partially visible below the chin. The date, though not perfectly clear, appears to be present at the bottom of the coin. The coin is circular with a reeded edge, though the edge is not fully visible in the image. There are no obvious signs of significant damage like bends, deep scratches, or holes. The overall condition suggests it is a circulated coin, with typical wear for an item that has been handled. No specific mint mark is discernible from this image, which would indicate the mint of origin (e.g., 'D' for Denver or 'S' for San Francisco). The craftsmanship is characteristic of typical United States Mint production, with a detailed portrait and clear typography for the inscriptions. The estimated age is post-1964, as that is when the Kennedy Half Dollar series began.
