2001-S Kennedy Half Dollar Gem Proof
The 2001-S Kennedy half dollar stands as a brilliant example of modern American coinage, struck with a proof finish at the San Francisco Mint. This fifty-cent piece features a composition consisting of a copper and nickel outer layer bonded to a core of pure copper, a standard for the era's circulating and proof clad coinage. On the obverse side, the coin displays a powerful portrait of President John F. Kennedy, a design created by Gilroy Roberts. The profile is accompanied by the traditional inscriptions "IN GOD WE TRUST" and the date of issue. The small "S" mint mark is also visible, indicating its origin from the San Francisco facility. The reverse side features the work of Frank Gasparro, who depicted a heraldic eagle. The eagle holds a bundle of arrows in one claw and an olive branch in the other, symbolizing both strength and peace. The outer rim is inscribed with "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and the denomination "HALF DOLLAR."
