Kennedy dollar coins are a part of the Presidential Dollar series, first minted in 2015. While a circulating Kennedy Half Dollar has a face value of fifty cents, the Presidential Dollar coins (honoring presidents, including John F. Kennedy) are worth face value unless they are a specific collectible version or have a mint error.
Here are some potential values of JFK dollar coins:
- Standard 2015 Kennedy Presidential Dollars: These coins typically hold their face value, meaning they are worth $1.
- Uncirculated 2015 Kennedy Presidential Dollars: These are sometimes sold by coin companies for slightly more than face value, ranging from $2.20 to $8.50 depending on the seller and condition.
- Special Edition and Error Coins: Some Kennedy dollar coins may be more valuable due to specific features or errors during the minting process. For example:
– A 1976 JFK Special Edition Dollar Coin with a missing star and inscription is listed for $249.
– A 1964 Kennedy Half Dollar with a rare “accented hair” variety can be worth significantly more, with one example selling for $46,800.
– A 1974 Kennedy Half Dollar with a “No Mint Mark” error is listed for $2000.
– A 1971 Kennedy Half Dollar misprint is listed for $1500.
– A 1964 Kennedy Half Dollar with a doubled die obverse error sold for $51.
– An off-center 1990 half-dollar sold for $121, [according to YouTube].
– A 1995 Kennedy half-dollar with a broadstrike error sold for over $100, [according to YouTube].
– A Kennedy Half Dollar struck on a Lincoln Penny planchet sold for nearly $4,000, [according to YouTube].
It’s important to note that the value of any specific coin depends on various factors, including its condition, rarity, and market demand. If you believe you have a valuable Kennedy coin, it’s recommended to consult a reputable coin dealer or numismatist for a professional appraisal.

What makes a 1964 JFK half dollar rare?
Good point! The 1964 SMS (Special Mint Set) Kennedy Half Dollars are extremely rare because they were part of a special mint set with a unique satin finish and sharp strike.
