Kennedy Half Dollars

United States of America

Gilroy Roberts, chief engraver of the Mint in 1963, designed the obverse of this coin. His stylized initials are on the truncation of the forceful bust of President John F. Kennedy. The reverse, which uses the presidential coat of arms for the motif, is the work of Frank Gasparro, who was appointed chief engraver in February 1965. A few of the pieces dated 1971-D and 1977-D were struck in silver clad composition by error. -- Red Book (2008)
