I’ve got a few of those of the same size, but they have Benjamin Franklin’s face on them instead of JFK’s. Also, I think some of them have silver content.

All the Franklin half dollars were 90% silver along with the 1964 Kennedy ones. 1965-1970 Kennedy half dollars were 40% silver. After that they were the now standard copper/nickel clad coins.
