Description

Up for sale is a 1964 Gem Proof Kennedy Half Dollar. This particular coin is an example of what is known as an ‘accented hair piece.’ The “Accented Hair” variety has longer and thicker strands of hair in an area just above the ear (more accented). This is believed to be the first design used on Kennedy Half Dollars and only 1%-3% of 1964 proof coins are of this variety (between 40000 and 120000 coins minted). Also of interest on the obverse is the letter “I” in “LIBERTY”. On the accented hair variety: The letter “I” is missing a serif on the bottom-left side whereas the normal hair variety has all 4 serifs. Please view photos and feel free to ask questions.
