A visually striking and unique numismatic curiosity, this 1985 Kennedy Half Dollar features a brilliant, aftermarket 24-karat gold-plated finish. While the United States Mint originally struck this piece in its standard copper-nickel clad composition for everyday commerce, it was later selected by a private domestic minting company to undergo a specialized electroplating process, transforming it into a shimmering collectors' keepsake.
