A genuine John F. Kennedy Half Dollar in the new “Reverse Proof” edition! Unlike a regular proof coin, this coin has a frosted background and a mirror-like finish to the designs. It is a genuine Kennedy Half Dollar that was struck by the U.S. Mint. Regular Proof coins have a mirrored background surface and a frosted appearance on the high relief images. A technological enhancement by the First Commemorative Mint gives the background a distinctive frosted appearance. What sets this coin apart from all other coins is that the high relief images of the coin actually have a mirrored Proof-like appearance. Never before has a Kennedy Half Dollar been produced with this stunning “Reverse Proof” appearance. The “Reverse Proof” shows the details in reverse. The result is a stunning and dazzlingly beautiful coin. Best of all, the full beauty of the coin is enhanced by the “Reverse Proof” process. The Kennedy Silver Half Dollar was first struck in 1964 as a commemorative of President John F. Kennedy, who was assassinated in November 1963. The design was personally approved by Kennedy’s widow, Jacqueline Kennedy. This coin comes in a custom display box with a Certificate of Authenticity. |
