1964 Kennedy Proof 1 OZ Copper Round $130 This 1964 Kennedy Proof 1 OZ Copper Round pays a stunning numismatic tribute to the legacy of President John F. Kennedy, featuring the iconic left-facing profile based on the classic Gilroy Roberts design. Struck in one ounce of .999 fine copper with a brilliant proof finish, this commemorative round showcases sharp, high-relief details and a reflective surface that highlights the intricate textures of the hair and lettering. The obverse is inscribed with the historical 1964 date along with the traditional mottos Liberty and In God We Trust. It is important to note that while this round mimics the appearance of the first-year Kennedy half dollar, it is a private mint bullion piece and not legal tender currency. This specific item comes packaged in a protective flip with a retail inventory label, making it an excellent addition for collectors of presidential memorabilia or those looking to diversify their bullion holdings with high-quality copper strikes. Condition: The item appears to be in brilliant uncirculated condition, though it displays a prominent dark spot or carbon spot on the neck of Kennedy’s portrait and minor surface abrasions consistent with bulk handling. As a modern copper bullion piece, it is ungraded and remains in its original plastic flip. The mint is a private mint, as this is a non-governmental bullion round rather than a legal tender coin from the United States Mint. The metal content is 1 AVDP ounce of .999 fine copper. Historically, the design pays homage to the 1964 Kennedy Half Dollar, which was released to commemorate the assassinated president and was the last year the denomination was struck in 90% silver for circulation. The collector value is minimal, primarily tied to the spot price of copper; the $130 price point is significantly above market value, as these rounds typically retail for $2 to $5, even as indicated by the $25 retail tag in the image. The strike type is a proof-like bullion strike, intended to mimic the mirror-like fields of official proof coins, though it lacks the sharp definition and frosted contrast of a true numismatic proof. copper round, Kennedy, 1964, numismatics, bullion, 1 oz copper, coin collecting, proof, profile, retail, barcode, coin bag, John F.
