1973 Kennedy Half Dollar
The 1973 Kennedy Half Dollar was struck for circulation at the Philadelphia and Denver Mints. Production for the year marked a lull before higher numbers would appear before and leading up to the Bicentennial issue. The 1973-S Proof Kennedy Half is generally easier to find in higher grades and with deep cameo finish, as compared to prior years of the series.
