The Silver Tone Half Dollar Coin Pocket Watch is the classic time piece. A simple but sleek silver tone case houses a genuine United States half dollar. The JFK Half Dollar first minted in 1964 was intended as a memorial to the assasination of President John F. Kennedy. It is still minted today but rarely seen as they have not been released into circulation for over 10 years. This Proof coin is struck twice using specially prepared dies and planchets delivering a coin with a mirror-like finish and exquisite detail. Proof coins are struck for collectors and never released into circulation. The coin is secure in the pocket watch casing and opens to quartz style and second sweeping hand over classic Roman numerals. The pocket watch is 1 7/8 inches in diameter and hangs from a 30 inch chain with a 3 inch extender and a lobster-claw clasp. This historical high polished time piece displays the beauty of a genuine US coin on the front and then brushed finish on the back, which may be engraved and personalized. Comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.
