Rarity Factors and Value Drivers
Condition plays a crucial role in the value of 1993 Kennedy Half Dollars. For circulation strikes, coins in Mint State (MS) conditions, particularly MS65 and above, command significant premiums. The presence of full bell lines (FBL) on the reverse can increase value, especially in higher grades.
For proof coins, the difference between a PR69 and a PR70 can be substantial in terms of value. Cameo and Deep Cameo contrast on proof coins are highly desirable and can significantly increase the coin's worth.

Strike quality is particularly important for Kennedy Half Dollars. Well-struck coins with sharp details, especially on Kennedy's hair and the eagle's feathers, are more valuable. Luster also plays a significant role, with coins displaying bright, cartwheel luster being more desirable.
While not common for this year, any error coins, such as doubled dies or off-center strikes, would carry a premium. Additionally, coins with attractive, natural toning can be more valuable to some collectors, especially if the toning is vibrant and even.
