Kennedy Half Dollar (Reverse Facing)
This item is a United States Kennedy Half Dollar, positioned reverse-side up on a Truweigh digital scale. The reverse design features the Heraldic Eagle, based on the Presidential Seal, surrounded by the inscriptions 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA' and 'HALF DOLLAR'. Constructed from a copper-nickel clad composition (if minted after 1970) or a silver alloy (if minted 1964-1970), the coin displays a metallic silver luster. The strike shows moderate detail in the eagle's feathers and the shield. Visible condition includes surface micro-scratches, slight toning around the rim, and minor contact marks consistent with a circulated or lightly handled coin. The scale's digital display is somewhat obscured by glare but appears to show a weight measurement, which is a critical diagnostic for determining metal content (silver vs. clad). No mint mark is immediately visible above the 'L' and 'F' of 'HALF' in this orientation, suggesting it may be a Philadelphia strike or requiring closer inspection. The overall craftsmanship reflects standard U.S. Mint production quality from the mid-to-late 20th century.
