1999 Kennedy Half Dollar
The 1999 Kennedy Half Dollar was overshadowed by the launch of the 50 State Quarter series in 1999. The mintages for the circulation strikes came in low with roughly 10 million produced at each mint. The 1999-S Silver Proof Kennedy Half Dollar sells at a large premium. This is mainly because the entire 1999 Silver Proof Set has a high value, making the individual coins pricey as well.
