The morning of September 11, 2001, started out as a beautiful, sunny fall day in the Eastern United States. As the sun rose of New York City, a major event unfolded from Washington D.C. to New York City and a field in central Pennsylvania as terrorists linked to Osama bin Laden hijacked four American airliners and attacked the United States on a scale not seen since December 1941 when Imperial Japan hit the US Naval Air Station at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.

New York City suffered the most in the 9/11 attacks as two airlines were purposely crashed into the upper floors of the massive Twin Towers of the World Trade Center. The two buildings stood smoldering for hours before eventually collapsing, taking the lives of more than 3,000 individuals in the process. This included those on the airplanes, working in the buildings, and the brave members of the NYPD and FDNY who responded to the World Trade Center.

For the obverse design of the 9/11 20^th Anniversary JFK Half Dollars, the mint features a colorized overlay with images of New York City’s well-known skyline as it appeared before and after 9/11. To the left are the Twin Towers, while the right features the new One World Trade Center building known colloquially as the Freedom Tower. The Statue of Liberty features in the foreground with 20^th-anniversary dates included.

In the reverse design of 9/11 20^th Anniversary JFK Half Dollars, you will find the original design from Frank Gasparro that debuted on the US half dollar JFK series in 1964. Here, the modified presidential seal is found with the bald eagle clutching an olive branch of peace in one talon and the arrows of war in the other. The US national shield is on its chest and a ring of stars encircles it.

These 9/11 20^th Anniversary JFK Half Dollars are legal tender coins available with individual plastic capsules and a Certificate of Authenticity. Each one has beautiful colorization applied with thin layers of colorized lacquer on the obverse to mark the 20^th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
