The 1996 Kennedy Half Dollar is a piece of U.S. coinage history, minted in honor of President John F. Kennedy.
Two main mints produced this coin: Philadelphia (no mint mark) and Denver ('D' mint mark).
Uncirculated coins are more valuable, with 'MS' mint state grades indicating higher quality.
Special collector's editions, like proof coins, were minted in San Francisco ('S' mint mark).
The 1996-S Silver Proof version is particularly sought after for its 90% silver content.
Value varies with condition: circulated coins are worth face value, while uncirculated can fetch $2-$5.
Special editions like the 1996-S Silver Proof can be worth $20 or more to collectors.
Errors and varieties, such as doubled dies, can significantly increase a coin's value.
Always consult a reputable coin dealer or grading service to accurately assess your coin's value.
