Kennedy Half Dollar (Likely 1964 or 1965-1970)

The item is a United States Kennedy Half Dollar, presented within a clear, circular plastic coin capsule. The obverse side of the coin is visible, featuring a left-facing profile bust of President John F. Kennedy, designed by Gilroy Roberts. His hair is neatly combed, and the details of his ear and facial contours are present, though softened by wear and what appears to be a layer of haze or toning on the coin’s surface. Above his head, partially obscured by the capsule rim, is the inscription 'LIBERTY'. To the left of his chin, the motto 'IN GOD WE TRUST' is visible, though the letters are somewhat faint. The date '196_' is partially discernible below Kennedy's bust, suggesting a year within the 1960s. The overall color of the coin is a muted silver-gray, indicative of either silver content with toning or a clad composition with environmental discoloration. There are no clear mint marks immediately visible. The coin exhibits moderate circulation wear, with some of the finer details on Kennedy’s hair and the lettering showing flattening. The surface appears to have an uneven sheen, possibly a result of toning or a slight film, which contributes to a somewhat dull luster. The coin capsule itself is clear plastic, cylindrical with a flat top and bottom, and shows minor surface scuffs consistent with handling, designed to protect the enclosed coin from further wear and environmental exposure. The edges of the coin are fully encased by the capsule.
