Remarkably, as president, John F. Kennedy managed to avoid any public executive branch scandals. He was, of course, extremely vulnerable to scandal should any of the details of his private life come to surface at the time. The fact that they didn't reflects the implicit policy of the press at the time not to report on the seamier side of politicians' private lives. John F. Kennedy was certainly not alone in this respect. Senator Strom Thurmond, for example, had a child by a black mistress. The Kennedys also had an arrangement with J. Edgar Hoover to help conceal what the FBI had learned regarding Judith Exner and her other, mafiosi lover.
One scandal that the Kennedys did not know about but was brewing at the time concerned malfeasance by a couple of the administration's appointments over at the General Services Administration. Details of that only emerged in the late 1970's.
Is it true that John F. Kennedy's parents were bootleggers?
John F. Kennedy was the son of Joseph Kennedy, the first chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission and, later, an ambassador to London. Joseph P. Kennedy was the ambitious son of a prosperous Boston saloon keeper and ward boss, that probably went underground during Prohibition. The only evidence we have that he was a bootlegger (as is often claimed) is the word of mobster Frank Costello, who said they were bootlegging partners. He was probably small time though. There is no evidence that he made his fortune this way, although he might have gotten a stake that he used for business. He was a very shrewd businessman.

Assuming you have a half dollar, only those minted from 1964 to 1969 have any extra value because they contain silver. 1964 halves contain about 1/3 of an ounce of silver while 1965-69 Kennedy halves have about 1/7 of an ounce.
