1974-D Kennedy Half Dollar
This is a United States Kennedy Half Dollar dated 1974, featuring the Denver mint mark ('D'). The coin is composed of a copper-nickel clad over a pure copper core, a standard for circulation strikes post-1970. It measures 30.61 mm in diameter with a reeded edge. The obverse displays the left-facing profile of President John F. Kennedy, designed by Gilroy Roberts. Notably, a small 'D' mint mark is located above the date '1974' and below Kennedy's neck truncation. The inscriptions include 'LIBERTY' around the top edge and the motto 'IN GOD WE TRUST' across the lower field. The coin exhibits signs of moderate circulation, including various surface scratches, minor bag marks, and a dulling of the original mint luster. There is visible wear on high points such as Kennedy's hair and cheekbone. Some light toning or oxidation is present, appearing as yellowish/brownish discolorations near the top lettering and periphery. No major post-mint damage like deep gouges or rim dents is immediately apparent, placing it in a mid-range circulated grade. The craftsmanship represents the mass-produced standards of the mid-20th century U.S. Mint.
