1967 Kennedy SMS Special Mint Set 40% Silver Half - 1/2 Brilliant Uncirculated

A beautiful 40% silver half dollar from 1967, in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, with strong luster and no wear. Hand-picked for quality and eye appeal. The obverse side of the coin features a portrait of President John F. Kennedy, 35th president of the United States. Within hours of Kennedy's assassination, the director of the U.S. Mint began evaluating the possibility of featuring Kennedy on the silver dollar, half dollar, or quarter. The choice of coin was offered to Jackie - she suggested the half dollar (which currently featured Benjamin Franklin) as she did not want to displace George Washington from the quarter. Congress passed legislation to feature Kennedy's portrait on the half dollar one month later. The reverse side of the coin features the seal of the United States. 1964 was the first year Kennedy half dollars were produced, and the last year half dollars were struck in 90% silver. After that, Kennedy half dollars were struck in a 40% alloy from 1965 until 1970, when they were converted to a copper-nickel alloy. Specifications: Each coin is in high-grade Mint State condition, with strong luster and no wear (see product pictures for example). The coins measure 30.6mm in diameter, weigh 12.5g, and are made of .400 fine silver.
