Introduced in 1964, the Kennedy Half Dollar Coin is the eighth design in the US 50-cent piece series and is the current design. While other design changes in American coining history underwent months of consideration as numerous designs were compared for worthiness on American coinage, the Kennedy Half Dollar design represented one of the quickest turnarounds in American history.

The JFK Half Dollar is the eighth design series in the collection dating back to its 1794 debut. The half dollar is one of the few American denominations issued on an annual basis dating back to the era of the nation’s founding. The first several decades saw various design changes between the Flowing Hair bust (1794-1795), the Draped Bust (1976-1807), and the Capped Bust (1807-1838).

In 1839, the Seated Liberty design debuted and would feature on the coins for 52 years until 1891. Starting in 1892, the Barber Coinage design debuted. That was replaced in 1916 by Walking Liberty, arguably the most famous design. In 1948, the Franklin Half Dollar was introduced, but was soon replaced by the Kennedy Half Dollar design following the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963. The Kennedy Half Dollar design was approved two months after his death and first released just four months after his death. As of 2017, it is now the longest-running design having surpassed the Seated Liberty image.

President John F. Kennedy is found on the obverse of the 2021-D JFK Black Ruthenium Half Dollar Gold Clad Coins. The left-profile portrait was created by Gilroy Roberts, the 9th Chief Engraver of the United States Mint.

A modified version of the US Presidential Seal is depicted in the reverse design of 2021-D JFK Black Ruthenium Half Dollars. This design was created by Frank Gasparro, the man who would replace Roberts in 1965 to become the 10th Chief Engraver of the United States Mint.

These 2021-D JFK Black Ruthenium Half Dollar Gold Clad Coins have stunning black ruthenium plating on the entire obverse and reverse background fields, with brilliant 24-karat gold plating on the bust of President Kennedy and the American bald eagle. The coins are packaged in acrylic capsules with a small display for each coin and capsule, and come with a Certificate of Authenticity.

Is my information secure?

We take data security very seriously. When you place an order with silver.com, your information is transmitted with the utmost SSL (secure socket layers) 256-bit protection. We also never have access to your credit/debit card details, as they are securely communicated directly to the payment processor (Authorize.net) and never retained by Silver.com. For this reason, we also don't process credit/debit card orders over the phone, as it is the least secure way to process those transactions.

In addition, all VISA and MasterCard orders undergo an additional step of user authentication - the respective Verified by VISA or MasterCard SecureCode programs. Upon completing checkout with a VISA or MasterCard credit/debit card, you may be promoted for additional details to confirm your identity and protect our customers against credit card fraud.

Finally, the data we do retain in our system, including but not limited to name, address, phone number, and order history, is never shared with or sold to any unrelated third-parties. Please review our Privacy Policy for full details on our data security measures.

Please note, the Silver.com website accepts orders 24/7/365, so you can always lock in live product prices and make purchases outside of business hours.

Do you charge sales tax?

We are required to collect sales tax in certain states. You can review your states sales tax policy here: https://www.silver.com/taxes. You should always consult with a tax adviser for specific advice in your area.

Where does your spot price come from?

We use a live, up-to-the-second spot price feed supplied by Xignite.com, a worldwide leader in the data supply market.

Are your products actually in stock?

Yes. We are one of the few bullion dealers in the industry who only deems products "in stock" when we have them on-hand and ready to ship immediately. In the instance of a presale item, we denote that the product is on presale and the estimated shipping date. While we make the best efforts to hit presale dates, the dates are only estimates, given we cannot control mint production issues and/or carrier dealyes.

Why are multiple prices listed?

We offer a 4% discount to "cash" paying customers - with paper check, bank wire, and bitcoin payments being defined as cash. On many products, we are also able to offer volume discounts to customers purchasing large quantities of the same item. All volume pricing is laid out in the chart on the product's description page, as well as in the cart.

When do I lock in my price?

All prices are locked in at the time of purchase. Credit/debit card, PayPal, BitCoin, Ethereum, and Ripple orders are paid at the time of checkout, while paper check and bank wire orders require a credit/debit card on file to lock in your pricing while we await your payment. Please note, paper check and bank wire orders will NOT result in a charge to your card - we simple maintain the card on file while we await full payment by your selected payment method.

Do you ship internationally?

We currently only ship to addresses in the United States, including APOs.
