2000-P 50C MS68 认证号71248350, PCGS号6778

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: 22,600,000 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 2000-P Kennedy Half Dollar is one of the more common issues in the series. Its mintage is also extremely high with well over 22 million examples struck. Therefore, finding a circulated example in circulation should be no trouble at all. More than likely many Uncirculated examples can still be pulled from circulation as well. It is very common in MS65 grades and lower. In MS66 condition it becomes a little scarcer with thousands of examples possibly still out there. In MS67 condition it is now scarce with less than 500 examples certified by PCGS. In MS68 condition it is considered a condition census in this condition, as there are less than a few dozen examples certified by PCGS in MS68. (Source:: Hernandez, Jaime. PCGS CoinFacts). Exemplar Notes: A nicely stuck gem--one of less than two dozen graded MS68 with none graded finer (as of 5/2016). Acquired 5/2016 from Dean Whitlock.
