Each coin used the original 1964 unmodified high relief obverse design that was hand-sculpted by United States Mint Chief Engraver Gilroy Roberts in 1963. Finally, the 50th Anniversary Kennedy Half-Dollar Gold Proof Coin was issued. This special Proof bullion coin was made out of 99.99% pure gold.
Where was the 1970 half dollar coin made?
The Philadelphia mint did not produce any half dollars in 1970. The mint produced coins in San Francisco with a Proof finish for inclusion the 1970 Proof set. The coins minted in Denver were business strike quality and included in United States Uncirculated Mint Sets.
