Rarity Factors and Value Drivers

The condition of 1968 Kennedy Half Dollars significantly impacts their value, especially for circulation strikes. Uncirculated examples with full luster and minimal contact marks command substantial premiums. For Denver-minted coins, MS65 and above grades are particularly desirable.

Proof coins from San Francisco are valued based on the quality of strike, mirror-like fields, and absence of handling marks. Cameo and deep cameo contrasts between the frosty devices and mirrored fields can significantly increase value.

Silver content plays a role in the base value of these coins, as they contain 40% silver. However, numismatic value often exceeds silver value for well-preserved specimens.

Toning can impact desirability, with attractive, natural toning sometimes enhancing value. Strike quality is also important, with sharply struck coins commanding premiums.

While not particularly rare, high-grade examples of both circulation strikes and proofs are sought after by collectors, especially those assembling high-grade Kennedy Half Dollar sets.
