2008-P Kennedy Half Dollar BU
The 2008 Kennedy half dollar, struck at the Philadelphia Mint, stands as a brilliant example of modern American coinage. This fifty-cent piece features a composition consisting of a pure copper core bonded to an outer layer of copper and nickel. The combination of these metals gives the coin its distinct appearance and durability, carrying forward a legacy of circulating coinage that captures the spirit of the nation. On the obverse, a portrait of John F. Kennedy faces left, a design created by Gilroy Roberts. This side is inscribed with the words IN GOD WE TRUST and the year 2008, alongside the P mint mark indicating its origin in Philadelphia. The reverse side, designed by Frank Gasparro, displays a powerful heraldic eagle. The eagle grasps a bundle of arrows in one claw and a peaceful olive branch in the other, symbolizing the dual nature of American resolve. Above the eagle, the traditional motto E PLURIBUS UNUM is clearly legible, surrounded by the inscriptions UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and HALF DOLLAR.
