1984-D 50C MS67 Certification #05419156, PCGS #6746

Designer: Gilroy Roberts / Frank Gasparro Content: 75% Copper, 25% Nickel over a pure Copper center Weight: 11.30 grams Diameter: 30.61 millimeters Edge: Reeded (150 reeds) Mint: Denver Production Strikes: 26,262,158 General Type Description: Beginning in 1971, all silver was removed from the Half Dollar, in favor of the same copper-nickel clad alloy that had been in use on Dimes and Quarter Dollars since 1965. Mintages remained low relative to all other denominations, with the result that the Half Dollar was seldom used or seen in circulation (a situation that persists today). Though somewhat lengthy, this series is easy and affordable to collect as either circulation strikes, Proofs, or both. Some dates, such as 1987-P and D, 2001-P, 2002-P and D, and others were not issued for circulation but are available only in Mint sets, adding a bit of a challenge. Major varieties include a 1972 No “FG” and a 1974 Doubled Die Obverse. (Source:: Guth, Ron. PCGS CoinFacts) Specific Issue Description: The 1984-D Kennedy Half Dollar is a tougher date in the Clad Kennedy Half Dollar series. It is hard to come by even in MS65 condition. In MS66 it becomes more difficult and is considered a scarce coin in this grade. In MS67 condition it is very difficult to find. There are very few coins available in this grade or higher, making it one of the key dates in the Clad Kennedy Half Dollars series in Gem condition. (Source: Hernandez, Jaime.
