The United States Mint is now accepting orders for collectible bags and rolls of 2019 Kennedy half dollar coins.
The Mint began producing the Kennedy half dollar in 1964 to commemorate President John F. Kennedy’s life following his assassination in 1963. This coin is available for purchase in the following options:
All product options contain circulating finish coins; however, the coins have never been placed in circulation.
