The United States Mint issued the 1967 Kennedy Half Dollar without the use of mint marks and once again the standard proof sets and mint sets were not produced. This was the third year these measures were taken to deal with a national coin shortage. The composition of the half dollar remained at 40% silver, the only circulating denomination with silver content.
The mintage for this issue was a significant jump from the previous year and one of the highest figures for the series.
Kennedy Half Dollars were included in Special Mint Sets issued by the US Mint. As with previous years, these SMS coins exhibiting cameo or deep cameo contrast are prized by collectors.
