Overview
A fascinating accumulation of mid-to-late 20th-century United States coinage, neatly organized into stacks. This collection features prominent issues of the era, including Kennedy half dollars, Susan B. Anthony dollar coins, and Washington quarters, representing a transitional period in American numismatic history.
Story
In 1964, the US Mint rushed the Kennedy half dollar into production just months after the president's assassination. This collection captures a moment when silver was being phased out of circulating currency forever.
Maker / Origin
The United States Mint, established in 1792, is the sole manufacturer of legal tender coinage for the nation. Chief Engraver Gilroy Roberts designed the obverse of the Kennedy half dollar, adapting his presidential medal design to meet the urgent demand for the coin in early 1964.
Condition & Value
The coins show typical circulated wear, with some minor surface oxidation and handling marks visible. The overall value will remain tied to their precious metal content or face value rather than high-grade numismatic premiums.
