Silver Kennedy Half Dollars returned for the Bicentennial Set in 1976, to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the United States of America! Struck at the San Francisco Mint, this Proof Kennedy Half Dollar was minted in 40% silver. This Bicenennial issue is also special because of its unique reverse design, struck for one year only. The regular eagle reverse was replaced with a depiction of Independence Hall, and an inscription declaring "200 YEARS OF FREEDOM".
The proof finish 1976-S 40% Silver Kennedy Half Dollars are hundreds of times rarer than the regular business strike versions that were put into circulation. Additionally, each one of these coins has been certified in near perfect PR69 DCAM grade by PCGS. At just one grade higher, the price skyrockets to $300 as only 1,437 exist in perfect PCGS PR70 DCAM (as of 12/5/24)! This 1976 Bicentennial Silver Proof set is the best and amazingly affordable way to celebrate America's history with some unique coinage.
