2012-S Kennedy Half Dollar Gem Proof
The 2012-S Kennedy Half Dollar stands as a brilliant example of modern American coinage, struck in a proof finish at the San Francisco Mint. This particular issue is composed of a copper and nickel outer layer bonded to a core of pure copper, giving it a distinct metallic composition that highlights the sharp details of its design. On the obverse, the coin features the classic bust of President John F. Kennedy, originally designed by Gilroy Roberts. The profile is accompanied by the legible inscriptions IN GOD WE TRUST and the date of 2012, along with the S mint mark indicating its origin in San Francisco. The reverse displays the heraldic eagle design by Frank Gasparro. The eagle holds a cluster of arrows in one talon and an olive branch in the other, representing both strength and peace. This side is framed by the inscriptions UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, E PLURIBUS UNUM, and the denomination, HALF DOLLAR.
