United States 1969 Kennedy Half Dollar

The item is a United States Kennedy Half Dollar, specifically from the year 1969. The obverse side of the coin is clearly visible, featuring a left-facing profile bust of President John F. Kennedy, designed by Gilroy Roberts. Above Kennedy's head, along the top rim, the word "LIBERTY" is partially visible. To the left of his chin, the motto "IN GOD" appears, with "WE TRUST" positioned to the right of his neck. The date "1969" is clearly inscribed along the bottom curve of the coin. The coin exhibits a metallic, silvery-gray color, consistent with typical coinage made from copper-nickel clad composition (or 40% silver for 1965-1970 issues, which for 1969 would be 40% silver). There is a noticeable level of circulation wear across the surface, softening the details of Kennedy's hair and facial features. Numerous fine scratches and scuff marks are visible across the entire obverse, particularly in the fields (flat areas) surrounding the portrait. These surface abrasions suggest the coin has been in general circulation for an extended period. No overt damage such as significant dents, bends, or severe corrosion is immediately apparent, though the overall luster is diminished due to wear and handling. No mint mark is clearly discernible from the provided image, which would indicate the mint location (e.g., D for Denver, S for San Francisco, or no mark for Philadelphia prior to 1980). The rim appears intact without significant dings. The overall craftsmanship is standard for U.S. coinage of that era.
