1998-S Kennedy Silver Half Dollar Special Strike NGC SP 70

A distinctive modern Kennedy Half Dollar with a one-year collector finish, the 1998-S Kennedy Silver Half Dollar Special Strike NGC SP 70 was struck by the United States Mint at San Francisco and carries a denomination of 50 cents. Composed of .900 fine silver, the coin has an original weight of 12.50 grams and contains approximately 0.3617 troy oz. Its special matte-like finish sets it apart from ordinary circulation and Proof Kennedy Half Dollars, while its NGC SP 70 certification identifies this example as a perfect specimen with no post-production imperfections visible at 5x magnification.

The Kennedy Half Dollar was introduced in 1964, shortly after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, with Gilroy Roberts designing the presidential portrait and Frank Gasparro creating the Presidential Seal-inspired reverse. The 1998-S Special Strike occupies a particularly interesting place in the series. Rather than being released individually or through the regular annual Mint Set, it was produced exclusively for the 1998 Robert F. Kennedy Collector's Set, where it accompanied the Robert F. Kennedy Silver Dollar. The Mint gave the Kennedy Half Dollar a distinctive matte finish, resulting in an original mintage of only 62,350 coins. Its limited distribution and unusual surface treatment have made the issue a notable variety within the broader Kennedy Half Dollar series.
