1996-P 50C MS68 认证号32699526, PCGS号6769

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: Philadelphia Production Strikes: 24,744,000 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 1996 Kennedy Half Dollar is fairly common in circulated grades up to about MS66 condition. In MS67 condition it is scarce with most examples probably originating from bags, rolls or sets. In MS68 condition they are very scarce with a few hundred examples possibly still out there. Anything in higher condition is very uncommon and worth setting aside. (Source: Hernandez, Jamie.
