1990-D 50C MS67 认证号03813764, PCGS号6758

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: 20,096,242 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 1990-D Kennedy Half Dollar has one of the higher mintages for the series. Usually Kennedy Half Dollars with mintages of 20 million or higher are considered really common. However, in gem condition the 1990-D Kennedy Half Dollars has proved to be scarcer than many of the issues in the series. Less than 500 coins have graded MS66 or higher. In MS67 condition, less than a few dozen are known with no others exisiting in any higher grade. Therefore, it is one of the scarcer issues in high gem condition. (Source: Hernandez, Jaime.
