- Is the 2024 Kennedy Half Dollar silver?
- No. It is copper-nickel clad, like half dollars from 1971 onward. Only 1965–1970 halves contain 40% silver, and 1964 halves are 90% silver.
- Does it differ from earlier Kennedy halves?
- The design is the same Roberts and Roberts artwork used since 1964. Only the date changes, so it is a date-set addition rather than a new design.
- Can I spend it in stores?
- It is legal tender worth fifty cents, but half dollars rarely circulate. Most banks and retailers will accept them, though some clerks may not recognize them.
- Should I buy the proof version instead?
- If you want a display piece, the proof and reverse-proof issues have mirror fields and sharper detail. The standard issue suits albums, rolls and date sets.
- How should I store it?
- Keep it in a coin folder, tube or inert holder and handle it by the edges. Raw coins left loose can pick up scratches and fingerprints.
