The 1971 Kennedy Half Dollar is a piece of U.S. currency, minted in honor of President John F. Kennedy.
This coin is not silver but made from a copper-nickel clad composition, changing from previous silver issues.
Circulated coins are common and hold nominal value, primarily as face value or slightly above.
Uncirculated or proof coins can fetch higher values, especially with high grades from coin grading services.
Special mint sets or coins with errors may be worth more to collectors and numismatists.
The 1971-D (Denver mint) and 1971-S (San Francisco mint) have different values due to minting location.
Look for the 'FG' designer initials on the reverse; missing initials can increase the coin's value.
Condition is key; coins with less wear and sharper details are more desirable and valuable.
Always consult a reputable coin guide or professional appraiser for the most accurate valuation.
