Item Description
A 1981-S Kennedy Half Dollar (Type 1) US Mint Coin in "Choice Proof" Condition.
This 1981-S Type 1, filled 'S' variety Kennedy half dollar is popular with collectors. Replaced by the Type 2, clear 'S' variety, this coin was meticulously crafted, with mirrorlike surfaces and frosty details. With a low mintage of only 4,063,083 for both varieties, you'll want to order this San Francisco Mint Proof coin today!
Proof coins are made by a special process using carefully selected coin blanks and dies, which are meticulously polished and burnished to remove any and all imperfections. The coin blanks are hand-fed into a specially adapted coin press, and are struck twice – at slow speed and with extra pressure – to produce high-relief features contrasted against deep mirrorlike surfaces. The dies are polished frequently, and are replaced after only a limited number of strikes. The finished Proof coins are inspected to rigid standards, handled only with gloves or tongs, and specially packaged for delivery to collectors.
