On November 22?? 1963?? President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas?? Texas?? during a motorcade procession through the city. A mourning nation honored the fallen leader by renaming streets?? buildings?? and parks in the 35th president's honor?? and the U.S. government?? in a similar way?? was quick to choose the half dollar as a coin on which to pay homage to Kennedy. Representing one of the fastest coin design changes in history?? the new Kennedy half dollar would debut in early 1964.</br><br/>http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01NBBTT8E
