2000-D 50C MS67 认证号60004041, PCGS号6779

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: 19,466,000 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 2000-D Kennedy Half Dollar is one of the tougher issues from the 1990's and after. Most issues from 1990 and after have examples grading MS68 grade or higher. However, for the 2000-D there are less than 100 examples known in MS67 with only one being finer. (Source: Hernandez, Jaime. PCGS CoinFacts) Exemplar Notes: Graded MS67 with none graded numerically higher (one MS67+, as of 5/2016), this lustrous and lightly toned gem was acquired 9/2010 via Teletrade.
