The metal content is a copper-nickel clad composition, consisting of an outer layer of 75% copper and 25% nickel bonded to a pure copper core. Historically, the Kennedy Half Dollar was first minted in 1964 to honor the assassinated President John F. Kennedy, with the 1979-S being a proof-only issue intended for collectors.
