Continuing the situation established in the previous year, the 2003 Kennedy Half Dollar was not produced for circulation. Rather the coins were produced in limited quantities at the Philadelphia and Denver Mint for direct sales to collectors. The San Francisco Mint also produced two different proof version of the coins for inclusion within annual coin sets.
The proof versions of the coin were included within the 2003 Proof Set and 2003 Silver Proof Set. The first set containing the coin struck in the standard composition of copper-nickel clad, while the second set contained the coin struck in a special composition of 90% silver and 10% copper.
