The Artistry Behind the Coin
Obverse: Gilroy Roberts' iconic portrait of President John F. Kennedy faces left, capturing the youthful vigor and determination that defined his presidency. The word LIBERTY arcs above, while IN GOD WE TRUST appears below the portrait, and the year 1971 is positioned at the truncation of the bust. The design remains one of the most recognizable and beloved in American numismatics.
Reverse: Frank Gasparro's heraldic eagle design commands the reverse, clutching an olive branch and arrows in its talons - symbols of peace and military readiness. A shield protects the eagle's breast, while fifty stars encircle the design. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and HALF DOLLAR complete the inscription, creating a powerful statement of American strength and unity.
Why Collectors Choose This Set
The Kennedy Half Dollar series holds a special place in American hearts, commemorating a president whose legacy continues to inspire. By acquiring both mint marks from 1971, you're building a complete year set that tells the full story of that year's production. These coins represent an important transition period - after 1970, half dollars were no longer struck for general circulation, making them true collector's items from the start. The Gem Brilliant Uncirculated grade ensures you're getting coins that look as fresh as the day they left the mint, with full luster and sharp details that lesser grades simply can't match.
