History
Following the assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963, the U.S. Mint expedited the production of a new coin to commemorate the fallen president. With the help of Jackie Kennedy, it was determined that JFK would grace the new Half Dollar, replacing the Benjamin Franklin portrait that had been used since 1948. The JFK Half Dollar became available to the public on March 24, 1964, a mere four months after Kennedys tragic death.
