2019-S Kennedy Half Dollar Gem Proof
The 2019-S Kennedy half dollar stands as a stunning example of modern American coining artistry. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, this piece features a proof finish, which highlights the sharp contrast between the frosted design elements and the deeply mirrored backgrounds. Unlike standard circulating coinage, this issue is composed of a copper and nickel outer layer bonded to a core of pure copper. The obverse of the coin displays a detailed left-facing portrait of President John F. Kennedy, a design created by Gilroy Roberts. Positioned below the bust is the "S" mint mark, indicating its origin in San Francisco, alongside the traditional inscription "IN GOD WE TRUST." On the reverse, Frank Gasparro's design presents a 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. The design is framed by the inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and "HALF DOLLAR," with the Latin motto "E PLURIBUS UNUM" resting above the eagle.
