He didn't just "show up". Following his assassination in November, 1963 there was a public groundswell for some kind coin or medal in his honor. The Mint originally proposed putting his portrait on the quarter but instead decided to replace Ben Franklin on the half dollar. The first JFK halves were released in February of 1964.
