A very nice and attractive example. Solid mirrors, no scratches or marks. No problems with the case. Strong cameo.

Expert Comments

Jaime Hernandez

In 1999 the U.S. Mint struck clad and silver Proof Kennedy Half dollars. The 1999-S Proof Kennedy Silver Half Dollar is fairly easy to locate and sells for a small premium close to the spot price of silver. Examples up to PR69 Deep Cameo are easy to obtain. In perfect PR70 Deep Cameo they are considerably scarcer and worth a slightly higher premium.
