| Additional information |
Issued by the Pobjoy Mint on behalf of a British territory to mark the 50th anniversary of Kennedy's assassination, this piece belongs to a crowded field of commemorative gold struck for the 2013 anniversary market. Pobjoy, operating as a private mint rather than a sovereign institution, has produced commemoratives for dozens of smaller jurisdictions — the issuing authority here matters less than the bullion content.
Kennedy commemoratives from non-U.S. mints have a consistently poor secondary market relative to their gold melt value.
