Half Dollars

Fifty cent pieces from the Draped Bust to the Kennedy is a popular collectible among numismatists and has been minted since 1794. The half dollar features a design that has changed over time. Most recent issues depict a presidential portrait on the obverse and various national monuments, animals, or other designs on the reverse. It is still made in plentiful numbers but mostly geared toward the collector and rarely seen in pocket change..
