2009-D 50C MS67 认证号14011665, PCGS号407279

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: 1,900,000 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.

The 2009-D Kennedy Half Dollar was not issued for circulation. The coins were only sold to collectors by the U.S. Mint. Therefore, it's mintage is very low for a circulation strike coin. Since the coins did not circulate examples in uncirculated condition should be the norm. Only in MS67 condition or higher are they considered scarce.
