2014 W, S, P, D 50th Anniversary Kennedy Half Dollar Silver Coin Set 

 

 

This beautiful silver four-coin set was designed to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Kennedy half-dollar first released in 1964. Each coin features the Kennedy portrait design on the obverse (heads) with the year 2014. The attractive packaging is designed to be displayable or stored and protected.

The set includes four Kennedy half-dollar coins struck in 90% silver in four different finishes, one from each of the U.S. Mint's coin production facilities:

• One reverse proof coin from the U.S. Mint at West Point
• One proof coin from the U.S. Mint at Philadelphia
• One enhanced uncirculated coin from the U.S. Mint at San Francisco. This is a special wire brushing technique implemented in Philadelphia for the first time.  The obverse in the areas of the effigy (portrait), lettering, and border will all receive a heavy laser frosting treatment. On the reverse, the lettering and border will each receive a heavy laser frosting treatment.  Other elements of the eagle will receive a standard (moderate) laser frosting treatment to enhance certain artistic detail. The stars will receive a laser polish technique to accentuate them against the field.
• One uncirculated coin from the U.S. Mint at Denver

The rich embossed faux leather folder includes an image of John F. Kennedy from the half–dollar design struck on the coins in this set and some patriotic U.S. flag imagery. The U.S. Mint logo appears on the front of the folder and the Department of Treasury seal on the back.

Each set also contains a separate printed Certificate of Authenticity and booklet about the development and design of the Kennedy half–dollar inside the folder.

The four coins with different finishes are encapsulated and secured in coin wells within the packaging. The coins appear from left to right inside the folder: reverse proof (West Point), proof (Philadelphia), enhanced uncirculated (San Francisco), and uncirculated (Denver)..
