Owner's Comments

Purchase1ad this and 6 other PR 69 DCAM coins as a single lot. I didn't see this until about half an hour before the end of the auction ended! Got lucky for sure! The photo makes it look like there's a haziness on the bottom of the photo, but, this is a faulty photo. There is absolutely NO haze anywhere on the coin at all! Beautiful black and white coin. I've been looking for one for a long time. I have now got 4 in 68 DCAM, but this coin has ended my search!

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.
