1967 Kennedy Half Dollar (50c) from the Vegas Strip Hoard is an affordable, silver-clad collectible piece of American numismatic history. Visual Profile & Coin Details: Th Obverse (Front): Features the profile of President John F. Kennedy designed by Gilroy Roberts, stamped with the year 1967. Because it lacks a mint mark, it was struck at the Philadelphia Mint. The Reverse (Back): Showcases Frank Gasparro's rendition of the Presidential Seal, heavily detailed with a heraldic eagle holding an olive branch and arrows.Composition: It is made of 40% silver and 60% copper (comprising roughly 0.1479 troy ounces of pure silver). The U.S. Mint scaled down to this 40% blend from 1965 to 1970 to conserve the national silver supply before transitioning entirely to copper-nickel in 1971. The Story Behind the "Vegas Strip Hoard"During the late 1960s, U.S. citizens aggressively hoarded these 40% silver coins out of circulation as the price of bullion rose.
