1972 Kennedy Half Dollar (Gold-Toned)

This item is identified as a 1972 Kennedy Half Dollar coin. The physical characteristics visible include its round shape and metallic, golden-yellow hue, which suggests it might be gold-plated or made of a brass/bronze alloy, as typical Kennedy Half Dollars of this era were composed of a copper-nickel clad. The obverse side is clearly depicted, featuring the left-facing profile of John F. Kennedy. Above his head, the word "LIBERTY" is partially visible along the top edge, and below his chin, the motto "IN GOD WE TRUST" is prominently displayed. The date "1972" is clearly inscribed along the bottom curve of the coin. The surface appears to have a semi-proof-like finish, with reflective fields, though there are visible signs of wear consistent with circulation or handling, such as faint scratches and possibly some minor rim nicks. There are no obvious maker's marks or mint marks discernible in the provided image to ascertain the specific mint location. The overall quality appears to be average for a circulated coin of its age, with good retention of details on Kennedy's effigy. The unusual aspect is its gold color, as standard 1972 Kennedy Half Dollars are silver-colored (copper-nickel clad). This could indicate a special issue, a privately gilded coin, or an error, which would significantly impact its value beyond its face value.
