1986-P Kennedy Half Dollar BU
The 1986 Kennedy half dollar, struck at the Philadelphia Mint, stands as a premier example of modern American coinage. This particular specimen is preserved in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, showcasing the sharp details of its original manufacture. Rather than precious silver, this issue features a composition of copper and nickel outer layers bonded securely to a core of pure copper. On the obverse, the profile of President John F. Kennedy faces left, a powerful portrait created by sculptor Gilroy Roberts. The design includes the traditional national motto, "IN GOD WE TRUST," positioned below the bust. The reverse side displays the heraldic eagle, a classic design by Frank Gasparro. The eagle holds a bundle of arrows in one talon and an olive branch in the other, symbolizing both the strength and the peaceful aspirations of the nation. The denomination, "HALF DOLLAR," is clearly inscribed along the lower rim, completing this iconic piece of United States numismatic history.
