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 to the left of Kennedy's profile. The date 1987 is positioned below, marking this coin's place in numismatic history. The design conveys both strength and optimism, immortalizing one of America's most beloved leaders.
Reverse: Frank Gasparro's heraldic eagle design commands the reverse, with the Presidential Seal at its center. The eagle clutches an olive branch and arrows, symbolizing America's commitment to both peace and defense. Fifty stars encircle the eagle, representing the unity of all states. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA curves along the top rim, with HALF DOLLAR below, completing this powerful patriotic composition.
Why Collectors Choose This Set
The 1987 Kennedy Half Dollar represents an important era when half dollars transitioned from common circulation to collector-focused production. With declining use in everyday commerce, these coins became increasingly sought after by numismatists building complete date and mint mark collections. The P&D combination ensures you have both major mint facilities represented, making this set essential for serious Kennedy Half Dollar enthusiasts. As the U.S. Mint continues to evaluate the future of half dollar production, securing earlier dates in premium condition becomes increasingly important for long-term collection value.
