1974-D 50C MS67 认证号03571720, PCGS号6723

Type: Kennedy Half Dollar, Type 3, Copper-Nickel Clad (1971- ) Designer: Gilroy Roberts / Frank Gasparro Content: 75% Copper, 25% Nickel over a pure Copper center Weight: 11.30 grams Diameter: 30.61 millimeters Edge: Reeded (150 reeds) Mint: Denver Production Strikes: 79,066,300 General Type Description: Beginning in 1971, all silver was removed from the Half Dollar, in favor of the same copper-nickel clad alloy that had been in use on Dimes and Quarter Dollars since 1965. Mintages remained low relative to all other denominations, with the result that the Half Dollar was seldom used or seen in circulation (a situation that persists today). Though somewhat lengthy, this series is easy and affordable to collect as either circulation strikes, Proofs, or both. Some dates, such as 1987-P and D, 2001-P, 2002-P and D, and others were not issued for circulation but are available only in Mint sets, adding a bit of a challenge. Major varieties include a 1972 No “FG” and a 1974 Doubled Die Obverse. (Source:: Guth, Ron. PCGS CoinFacts) Specific Issue Description: The 1974-D Kennedy Half Dollar is fairly common in circulated grades all the way up to MS64 condition. In MS65 condition they are a little scarce but there are still many out there in rolls or in mint sets. Examples in MS66 are more challenging but there are probably still several thousand out there, many of them being sold as raw single coins and others already graded. In MS67 condition they are seldom seen with less than 100 examples known and none existing in any higher condition. (Source: Hernandez, Jaime.
