The 1997-S Proof Kennedy Half Dollar came well struck, examples up to PR70 Deep cameo can easily be found. This issue is fairly common for the series, as most other Proof Kennedy Half Dollars from the 1990-S also have similar mintages overall.

Rarity and Survival Estimates Learn More

Grades	Survival Estimate The Survival Estimate represents an average of one or more experts opinions as to how many examples survive of a particular coin in three categories: 1) all grades, 2) 60 or better, and 3) 65 or better. These estimates are based on a variety of sources, including population reports, auction appearances, and personal knowledge. Survival estimates include coins that are raw, certified by PCGS, and certified by other grading services.
