This flawless specimen features brilliant mirror-like proof fields, sharply frosted design elements, and exceptional Deep Cameo contrast that gives the coin outstanding visual appeal.
Struck at the San Francisco Mint, the 1982-S Proof Kennedy Half Dollar continues the modern clad era of the series following the transition away from silver coinage. The obverse displays the iconic portrait of President John F. Kennedy, designed by Gilroy Roberts, while the reverse features the heraldic eagle design created by Frank Gasparro.
The 1982-S Kennedy Half Dollar was produced specifically for collectors as part of the U.S. Mint proof program.
