Rarity Factors and Value Drivers
Condition plays a crucial role in determining the value of 2011 Kennedy Half Dollars. For circulation strikes, coins in pristine uncirculated condition (MS65 and above) command significant premiums. The presence of full bell lines (FBL) on the reverse can increase value substantially.
For proof coins, the difference between a PR69 and a PR70 can be substantial in terms of value. Cameo and Deep Cameo contrasts are highly desirable and can significantly enhance 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 crucial role, with coins displaying bright, unbroken cartwheel luster being more desirable.
While not common for this year, any error coins, such as off-center strikes or double dies, could command significant premiums. Additionally, coins with attractive, natural toning can be more valuable to some collectors, especially if the toning is vibrant and evenly distributed.
