1980-P 50C MS67 认证号04679755, PCGS号6737

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: 44,134,000 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: The 1980-P Kennedy Half Dollar is very common up to about MS65 condition. In MS66 it becomes a little challenging to find but you can still easily buy them at a small premium, if you can't find one in this condition. In MS67 condition it is scarce, yet, there are still hundreds of examples out there that one can be purchased with minimal effort. There are no examples known in MS68 condition or higher (Source: Hernandez, Jamie. PCGS CoinFacts). The 1980 Philadelphia-minted Kennedy half dollar is the first of the series to include a “P” mint-mark. Exemplar Notes: This gem was acquired 11/2015 via Heritage Auctions.
