1999-D 50C MS68 认证号11745178, PCGS号6777

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: 10,682,000 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) Exemplar Notes: Kennedy's hair shows razor-sharp detail and the fields are highly mirrored. Only a minute fleck, appears to the right of the eagle, precluding an even higher grade. One of only eight graded MS68 with none finer (as of 5/2016) this gem was acquired 8/2014 via Heritage Auctions. Photography/Imaging c/o Todd Pollock, BluCCPhotos.com

The 1999-D Kennedy Half Dollar comes very well struck for the most part. Examples up to MS66 are easy to find. MS67 examples require a lot of searching but hundreds, if not thousands of examples still exist. In MS68 condition they are very difficult to find. Expect to pay a significant premium in this condition as few are available.
