The 2002-D Kennedy Half Dollar Roll comes with 20 brilliant uncirculated coins, stacked in a tube for protection and storage purposes. The 2002-D Kennedy Half Dollar was minted by the Denver Mint, with a 2.5 million mintage. John F. Kennedy is mostly known as the president who was assassinated in 1963 but his legacy still lives on today. During his 2 year term, Kennedy constantly dealt with high tensions between communism and the US. Kennedy is still the only Roman Catholic to ever serve as president in the US or to receive a Pulitzer Prize.
The Kennedy Half Dollar series carries loads of history for any collectors to appreciate through the years. This series is also ideal for beginner collectors, providing low premiums coins for any budget. Gilroy Roberts and Frank Gasparro were the sculptors who had the honor of designing the Kennedy Half Dollar. Needing a design quickly, the US Mint approved of a design the two had created for a presidential medal that was liked by the late president. His widow, Jacqueline Kennedy, wanted his portrait to be on the half dollar denomination. In just one short month, a new half dollar was being minted by the millions, and the public was ready for it. The reverse depicts a portrait of the late president, with the coin's date of mintage. The reverse contains the US National Seal and the coin's 50 cent denomination.
