Four Bicentennial Kennedy half dollars, copper-nickel clad, with no silver content. All four carry the dual date 1776-1976 and the Independence Hall reverse. Three show a clear D below the neck truncation. On the fourth the mint mark area is in focus and empty, which points to Philadelphia. The coins show full hair and jaw detail with no high point wear and appear to grade uncirculated. One carries heavy yellow-tan toning over most of the obverse in a mottled ring around the portrait, the look of long album storage rather than corrosion, with no green or black. Another has light grey toning and fine contact marks, one is bright with a few field hairlines, and one has small dark specks in the left field and on the cheek. Reverses were shot only as a group, so per coin reverse detail is limited. History: the reverse came from a public design contest won by Seth Huntington, and well over 200 million clad Bicentennial halves were struck, which is why they stay easy to find. Estimated Value: $4 to $8. Sold as-is. Photos are the most accurate description of this lot. Written descriptions are a guide only and may contain errors. Please review all photos before bidding.
