About This Coin
The 2011 Kennedy Half Dollar is a United States half dollar from the Kennedy Half Dollars Clad and Silver Proof 1971 to Date series. In 2011, coins were struck at the San Francisco, Philadelphia, and Denver Mints with a combined mintage of 5.1 million. The obverse features John F. Kennedy facing left, based on the presidential medal by Gilroy Roberts and the reverse displays the Presidential Seal — a heraldic eagle with shield, olive branch, and arrows. A modern issue from an era of rotating coin designs, collector-focused programs, and renewed interest in numismatic artistry. Struck in 75% copper, 25% nickel over a pure copper center, 30.61 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Across its variants, estimated values range from $1 to $40 depending on mint mark, grade, and strike type. A notable auction result reached $1.7K in MS69 grade at Heritage Auctions. Designed by Gilroy Roberts/Frank Gasparro.
