1982 Kennedy Half Dollar
The 1982 Kennedy Half Dollar can be difficult to find in uncirculated grades. The reason for this is because the US Mint did not issued 1982 Mint Sets. These annually issued sets have become a major source for uncirculated examples of each year’s coins. Accordingly, the 1982-P and 1982-D Kennedy Half Dollars more difficult to find than most years and generally carry a premium to reflect this.
