1969-D Kennedy Half Dollar
This is a United States Kennedy Half Dollar dated 1969. The coin features the profile of President John F. Kennedy on the obverse, designed by Gilroy Roberts. Notably, for this specific year (1965-1970), the coin is composed of 40% silver (silver-clad), consisting of an outer layer of 80% silver and 20% copper bonded to an inner core of 20.9% silver and 79.1% copper. The coin measures 30.61mm in diameter with a reeded edge. This particular specimen displays a 'D' mint mark above the date, indicating it was struck at the Denver Mint. The surface shows a moderate degree of circulation wear, visible through the loss of fine detail in Kennedy's hair and slight softening of the high points of the facial features. There are numerous small contact marks, known as 'bag marks,' and surface abrasions consistent with use in commerce. The luster is slightly muted with visible dark toning or spotting on the cheek and hair segments, and a consistent patina across the fields. The typography 'LIBERTY' remains clear along the top rim, and the motto 'IN GOD WE TRUST' is well-defined across the base of the bust. No major structural damage or post-minting alterations are visible, though the edge appears to have some minor nicks.
