1971-S Kennedy Half Dollar – PCGS PR69 Proof
A high-grade example of the classic Kennedy Half Dollar series, this 1971-S Kennedy Half Dollar has been certified PCGS PR69, representing an exceptional proof specimen with outstanding preservation and strong eye appeal.
Struck at the San Francisco Mint, the 1971-S Proof Kennedy Half Dollar represents an important transition in the series, as it was among the first proof issues produced after the end of the 40% silver Kennedy Half Dollars. Beginning in 1971, Kennedy Half Dollars returned to a copper-nickel clad composition, marking the start of the modern clad era.
The coin features the iconic portrait of President John F. Kennedy on the obverse, designed by Gilroy Roberts, while the reverse showcases the heraldic eagle design created by Frank Gasparro. A PR69 grade highlights the coin's near-perfect proof quality, with brilliant reflective fields, sharp details, and excellent overall condition.
