2013-P 50C MS67 Certification #29968433, PCGS #518719

Type: Kennedy Half Dollar, Type 3, Copper-Nickel Clad (1971- ) 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: Philadelphia Production Strikes: 5,000,000 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: Most 2013-P Kennedy Half Dollars came in nice quality ranging from about MS64-MS66 condition. Nicer examples in about MS67 condition proved to be much more difficult to find. Yet, certified examples in this grade were priced affordably that just about any collector can buy one at a reasonable price. In MS68 condition these coins are very difficult to find and very few examples managed to escape in this condition with no examples known in better condition. (Source: Hernandez, Jamie.
