1998-D Kennedy Half Dollar BU
The 1998 Kennedy half dollar stands as a shining example of modern American coinage, struck at the Denver Mint. This particular issue remains in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, preserving the sharp details of its dual-artist design. The coin is composed of a outer layer of copper and nickel bonded securely to a core of pure copper. On the obverse, a left-facing portrait of President John F. Kennedy dominates the field, created by Gilroy Roberts. This side bears the national motto of trust and the 1998 date, alongside the Denver "D" mint mark. The reverse side presents a detailed heraldic eagle, a design crafted by Frank Gasparro. The eagle holds both a bundle of arrows and an olive branch in its talons, symbolizing strength and peace. The traditional Latin motto is inscribed above the eagle, surrounded by the country name and the fifty-cent face value.
