The business strike coins are the standard coins that the mint distributes for circulation each year. The business strike coin in this set though is in brilliant uncirculated condition, which is quite rare for a coin that was minted to be in circulation.

Proof coins are specially minted for collectors and are struck using polished dies and specially prepared planchets, resulting in a highly detailed and mirror-like finish. They are often sold in sets or individually packaged and are prized for their limited availability and quality.

 

Uncirculated coins, on the other hand, are coins that were minted for general circulation but never entered circulation. They are typically of much higher quality than circulated coins.

 

Both proof and uncirculated 1964 Kennedy half dollars can be valuable to collectors, especially those in pristine condition. The value of these coins can vary based on factors such as their condition, rarity, and current demand in the numismatic market. If you have any of these coins, it's a good idea to have them appraised by a reputable coin dealer or numismatist to determine their value.
