1971 Kennedy Half Dollar Coin (Obverse)

This item is a 1971 Kennedy Half Dollar coin, specifically showcasing its obverse side. The coin is circular, with a reeded edge (though not clearly visible in this image, it's standard for this denomination). Its primary material is a copper-nickel clad composition, common for U.S. coinage from this period. The color is a silver-gray, indicative of its composition. The central feature is a left-facing profile of President John F. Kennedy, designed by Gilroy Roberts. Key inscriptions on the obverse include "LIBERTY" arching over the top, "IN GOD WE TRUST" positioned below Kennedy's chin and to his left, and the date "1971" at the bottom. There appear to be some small scratches and minor surface wear visible across the coin's surface, consistent with a circulated coin, but no significant damage like heavy dents or deep gouges are apparent. The luster appears somewhat subdued, suggesting it is not uncirculated. The overall relief of the portrait and inscriptions seems clear and largely intact, indicating a decent strike. There is no visible mint mark in the image; for this year, a 'D' would indicate Denver, or it could be Philadelphia (no mint mark). The coin's style is modern American numismatics, and its age is precisely 1971. The craftsmanship is typical of U.S. Mint production for circulating coinage.
