2014-D 50C MS69 认证号30982627, PCGS号524458

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: 2,100,000 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: Being the 50th anniversary of the Kennedy Half Dollar's release, several special issues were released in 2014 commemorating the event. The is the Denver-minted regular clad coin which was issued in Mint Sets, rolls and bags. Exemplar Notes: One of less than two dozen graded as a near perfect MS69 with none finer (as of 5/2016). The first ever circulation strike in the Kennedy Half Dollar series to achieve a PCGS grade of MS69, this was acquired 1/2015 from Brian Childs, Elite Numismatics.

The 2014-D Kennedy Half Dollar did not get issued for circulation, therefore it's mintage is considerably low compared to most other coins in the series. Since they did not circulate, most examples grade in high gem mint state grade. Examples in MS69 or higher appear to be scarce to rare.
