2002-S Kennedy Half Dollar Gem Proof
The 2002-S Kennedy half dollar stands as a striking example of modern American coinage, produced at the San Francisco Mint. This fifty-cent piece features a proof finish, a specialized minting process that highlights the sharp details and contrasting surfaces of the design. The coin is composed of a copper and nickel outer layer bonded to a core of pure copper. On the obverse, the profile of President John F. Kennedy faces left, a design created by Gilroy Roberts. This side bears the inscription "IN GOD WE TRUST" split across the lower field, along with the year 2002 and the "S" mint mark indicating its San Francisco origin. The reverse, designed by Frank Gasparro, displays a heraldic eagle clutching a bundle of arrows and an olive branch, symbolizing both strength and peace. The eagle is surrounded by the inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and "HALF DOLLAR."
