Rarity Factors and Value Drivers

The condition of 2012 Kennedy Half Dollars significantly impacts their value, particularly for circulation strikes. Coins in Mint State (MS) condition command premium prices, with those grading MS65 and above being particularly desirable. For proof coins, the difference between PR69 and PR70 can be substantial in terms of value.

Collectors prize coins with strong strikes, full luster, and minimal contact marks. The Kennedy Half Dollar's large size makes it susceptible to bag marks and scuffs, so pristine examples are highly sought after.

Toning can play a significant role in a coin's desirability, with attractively toned specimens often commanding premiums. For the 2012 issue, coins with deep, colorful toning are particularly prized.

While not a key date, the relatively low mintage for modern standards makes the 2012 Half Dollar more interesting to collectors compared to higher mintage years. Complete sets of 2012 coins, including the half dollar, are popular among year-set collectors, which can drive demand for high-grade examples.
