2001 Kennedy Half Dollar
The 2001 Kennedy Half Dollar marked the last year that the denomination was produced for circulation. Once again, the Philadelphia and Denver Mints produced roughly 20 million coins each. Notably, the 2001-S Proof Kennedy Half Dollar is exceedingly difficult to find in perfect PCGS PR70DCAM or NGC PF 70 Ultra Cameo grades. Accordingly, coins carrying these grades drive high premiums.
