Collectors immediately began hoarding the new coins, both as keepsakes and for their silver content. Even with the Mint’s expanded production, circulation remained low due to silver’s rising value. In 1965, the composition was reduced from 90% to 40% silver, and by 1971, silver was removed entirely.

Over the years, the Kennedy half dollar has seen several special issues — including the 1976 Bicentennial design and the 2014 50th Anniversary gold edition — making it one of America’s most iconic coins.
