John F. Kennedy Half Dollar Turns 60 - Memorializing a presidency cut short

The attempt on former U.S. President Donald Trump's life at a campaign event in Butler County, Pennsylvania, on July 13, 2024, could have been more significant than it was. Trump's ear was clipped, but the 45th president survived.The last time a sitting or former U.S. president survived an attempted assassination was in 1981, when a man obsessed with actor Jodie Foster shot the recently inaugurated President Ronald Reagan, who survived the attack. Sadly, there was no similar good fortune for President John F. Kennedy nearly 20 years earlier. One of the darkest days in American history occurred on Nov. 22, 1963, when a lone gunman drew his weapon and assassinated President Kennedy during a motorcade procession in Dallas, Texas
