Description

# 1982-P Kennedy Half Dollar - PCGS MS67. An exceptional Gem-quality Kennedy Half Dollar from the Philadelphia Mint, this 1982-P represents a remarkable condition rarity in the series. Struck during a transitional period for U.S. coinage, this half dollar showcases the classic Kennedy design by Gilroy Roberts and Frank Gasparro with remarkable preservation. Graded a pristine PCGS MS67, this specimen is among the finest known examples of its date and mint. With a population of just 5 coins at this grade level and none graded higher, it represents a true condition rarity for the advanced Kennedy half dollar collector. The coin exhibits exceptional mint luster and strike quality, typical of the Philadelphia Mint's production standards. Minted with a composition of 75% copper and 25% nickel over a pure copper core, this half dollar features the standard 30.61mm diameter and 150-reed edge. From a total mintage of 10,819,000 pieces, very few have survived in such extraordinary condition. The numismatic significance of this piece is further enhanced by its near-pristine state, making it a premier example for serious collectors and registry set participants.
