Yes, proof versions of the Kennedy half dollar were made. These will have the S mintmark.
....They haven't stopped being made. New Kennedy half dollars are minted every year. 2001 is the latest year intended for circulation, but you can buy 2011 Kennedy half dollars in mint sets and in bags on the mint's website.
The only Kennedy half-dollars after 1971 to have any silver are in Bicentennial (40%) silver Proof and Unciculated sets sold from the Mint. In 1992 the Mint started making "Silver Proof" sets again with 90% silver coins.
None of the Kennedy bicentennial half dollars made for general circulation have any silver or are worth more than face value. Only Proof and collectors coins sold from the US Mint are worth more.
Unless it's a Proof or Mint State coin, it's face value. None of the Kennedy Half dollars made for general circulation after 1970 contain any silver.

Yes the Denver mint did strike half dollars that year and so did San Francisco in proof only. 1976 half dollars made at Philadelphia don't have mint marks; the "P" didn't appear on halves until 1980.
Kennedy half dollars are not made of gold'
They're not made of anything because the first Kennedy halves weren't struck until 1964.On the other hand, 1963 FRANKLIN half dollars are made of 90% silver and 10% copper.
Unless it's a Proof or Mint State coin, it's face value. None of the Kennedy Half dollars made for general circulation after 1970 contain any silver.
All types of half dollars from 1964 & older were made of 90% silver & 10% copper, from 1965-1970 half dollars were made using 40% silver, and 1971 to present the Kennedy half dollars are made of 91.67% copper & 8.33% nickel
i believe that it is a silver round made by a private mint not the us government. Probably worth 175-200 dollars at the most.
So many of the dual dated half dollars were made that only proof and special uncirculated coins sold from the mint have more than face value.
