The set is composed of four coins–one from each of the United States Mint’s production facilities–struck in 90 percent silver in four finishes:
- One reverse proof coin from the United States Mint at West Point
- One proof coin from the United States Mint at Philadelphia
- One enhanced uncirculated coin from the United States Mint at San Francisco, and
- One uncirculated coin from the United States Mint at Denver.
Each coin features the 1964 Kennedy half–dollar coin design, but is inscribed with the year 2014. The encapsulated coins are secured in coin wells within an embossed leatherette–type folder that includes the same image of John F. Kennedy that appears on the coins in this set, with patriotic imagery of stars and stripes. The removable capsules allow visibility of both sides of the coins, which are housed on packaging that can be displayed as a trifold or stored and protected by an outer sleeve. The United States Mint logo is on the front of the folder, and the Department of the Treasury seal is on the back. A booklet with information and images about the design of the 1964 Kennedy half–dollar coin and a certificate of authenticity accompany each set.
