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: 2,000,000 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: Beginning in 2002, Kennedy Half Dollars have only been struck to satisfy the demand from collectors and made available at a premium through the Mint as no regular business strike coins were produced for circulation. The 2006-D Kennedy Half Dollars had a mintage of 2 million coins struck, which is considerably low for the series. Examples up to MS65 condition appear to be common. Only in MS66 condition and higher are they scarce. In MS66 there are probably thousands of examples but they require a lot of searching through bags or rolls. In MS67 grade they are much scarcer with less than 100 graded in this condition and none being finer. (Source: Hernandez, Jaime. PCGS CoinFacts) Exemplar Notes: This gem was originally acquired 7/2010 via Teletrade then subsequently sold to Suzanne Stewart of Abacus Coins, before being re-purchased in 11/2011.
