1776-1976 Bicentennial Kennedy Half Dollar Coin Keychain

This item is a commemorative keychain featuring a United States Bicentennial Kennedy Half Dollar as the central pendant. The coin is a circulating commemorative issue dated 1776-1976, featuring the profile of President John F. Kennedy on the obverse. It is housed in a polished silver-toned metal bezel that encircles the coin's edge, secured at the top by a ball-and-pin swivel attachment. The coin appears to have a Denver mint mark ('D') visible below Kennedy's neck. The attachment leads to a flexible metal snake-style chain, which is then connected to a standard split-ring key holder. Physically, the coin shows significant signs of age and handled wear, most notably heavy gold-toned or yellowish tarnishing/toning across most of its surface, though some original silver coloring remains on the high points of the profile. There are visible surface abrasions, minor scuffs, and a general loss of luster consistent with use as an everyday carry item. The bezel and chain mechanisms show signs of oxidation and patina but remain structurally intact. This piece likely dates from the mid-to-late 1970s, produced as a souvenir to celebrate the American Bicentennial. The overall craftsmanship is commercial grade for the era, designed for durability rather than high-end jewelry standards.
