The 1971-S Proof Kennedy Half Dollars are easy and very affordable to obtain up to about PR69 condition without having Cameo or Deep Cameo surfaces. With cameo surfaces they are scarce beginning at about PR69 condition and higher. With Deep Cameo surfaces they are very difficult to find in PR68 or higher. PR69 Deep Cameo examples are even more difficult and are very expensive in this condition or higher.
