1984 Kennedy Half Dollar
This is a 1984 United States Kennedy Half Dollar coin, featuring the profile of President John F. Kennedy on the obverse. The coin is composed of a copper-nickel clad over a pure copper core, typical for post-1970 half dollars. It measures 30.61 mm in diameter and has a weight of 11.34 grams. The obverse displays the word 'LIBERTY' curved around the top border, the national motto 'IN GOD WE TRUST' flanking the portrait, and the year '1984' at the bottom. A small 'P' or 'D' mint mark is located just above the date (though difficult to discern under current lighting). The coin's surface shows a moderate amount of circulation wear, characterized by flattened relief in the hair and a dulling of the original mint luster. There are several visible surface abrasions, minor bag marks, and a dark, uneven patina or toning across both the fields and the central portrait. The rim appears relatively intact with no major dings, but the overall lack of sharp detail and the presence of significant contact marks suggest a grade in the mid-range of circulated conditions. This piece represents a standard circulation strike from the mid-1980s Reagan era.
