1998-P Kennedy Half Dollar BU
The 1998 Kennedy half dollar stands as a brilliant example of modern American coinage from the Philadelphia Mint. Struck with a copper-nickel outer layer bonded to a core of pure copper, this fifty-cent piece showcases the enduring dual-metal composition used for circulating United States coinage. This specific coin remains in brilliant uncirculated condition, preserving the sharp details of its original strike just as it appeared when leaving the minting facility. On the obverse, the profile of President John F. Kennedy faces left, a design created by Gilroy Roberts. The portrait is accompanied by the inscriptions IN GOD WE TRUST and the mint mark P, indicating its origin in Philadelphia. The reverse, designed by Frank Gasparro, features the powerful heraldic eagle. The eagle holds a bundle of arrows in one talon and an olive branch in the other, symbolizing both strength and peace, beneath the traditional motto E PLURIBUS UNUM.
