Kennedy. It features the face of President John F. Kennedy on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse. The obverse was designed by Gilroy Roberts and the reverse was designed by Frank Gasparro.</p> <p align="justify">The Kennedy half dollar was struck in 90% silver in 1964. The following year, this was changed to silver-clad, with the silver content lowered to 40%. In 1971, the circulation coinage composition was changed a final time, eliminating the silver, and using the copper-nickel clad standard common to the dollar, quarter, and dime. Bicentennial half dollars dated 1776-1976 were produced in the years 1975 and 1976 in the copper-nickel clad composition for circulation.</p><p align="justify"><br /></p><p align="justify"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Kennedy Half Dollars Change:</span></p><p align="justify">90% Silver Composition (1964)</p><p align="justify"><br /></p><p align="justify">Designer – Engraver: Gilroy Roberts</p><p align="justify">Metal Composition: 90% Silver – 10% Copper</p><p align="justify">Diameter: 30.6 mm</p><p align="justify">Mass / Weight: 12.5 grams</p><p align="justify"><br /></p><p align="justify"><br /></p><p align="justify">40% Silver Composition (1965-1970)</p><p align="justify"><br /></p><p align="justify">Designer – Engraver: Gilroy Roberts</p><p align="justify">Metal Composition: 40% Silver – 60% Copper</p><p align="justify">Diameter: 30.6 mm</p><p align="justify">Mass / Weight: 11.5 grams</p><p align="justify"><br /></p><p align="justify"><br /></p><p align="justify">Clad Composition (1971-Present)</p><p align="justify"><br /></p><p align="justify">Designer – Engraver: Gilroy Roberts</p><p align="justify">Metal Composition: 91.67% Copper – 8.33% Nickel</p><p align="justify">Diameter: 30.6 mm</p><p align="justify">Mass / Weight: 11.34 grams</p><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div>
