The front should have Kennedy facing left and the date below his neck. On the rear, there should be the Presidential Seal, which has a HALF DOLLAR on the bottom along with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA bowing above. E*Pluribus*Unum* is found inscribed on the banner on the seal. The rims are reeded. Instead of a copper luster, a more silver-like rim should appear, due to the coin's 40% silver amount.
