Kennedy Half Dollar Values & Mintages

Q: Where is the mint mark on a Kennedy Half Dollar?

1964: On the reverse, near the eagle's claw holding the olive branch.1965–1967: No mint mark. Mint marks were suspended in 1965–1967.1968–2026: On the obverse, below Kennedy's portrait and above the date.

Struck just weeks after President Kennedy's assassination in November 1963, the 1964 Kennedy half was hoarded as a keepsake almost immediately. It is 90% silver; halves from 1965 to 1970 are 40% silver and from 1971 they are copper-nickel clad.
