The design was rushed into circulation in February 1964 to honor the recently-assassinated president. Kennedy halves have been minted every year since, although there have been several years when the coins were only struck for inclusion in collectors' sets: 1970, and 2003 to date

1964-dated coins are made of 90% silver and are worth about $6 for their silver content

1965-69 are made of 40% silver and are worth about $2.50

1971 and later circulation-issue coins are made of copper-nickel and are only worth 50 cents.

Some special sets of 40% and 90% silver halves have been minted during various years since 1976.
