Description

The 1972 (D) Kennedy Half Dollar - No "FG", struck at the Denver Mint, is part of the Kennedy Half Dollars Clad and Silver Proof 1971 to Date collection. The U.S. Mint produced 141.9 million examples, making this the lowest mintage among 3 mint variants, representing only 32% of total production. The obverse features John F. Kennedy facing left, based on the presidential medal by Gilroy Roberts and the reverse displays the Presidential Seal — a heraldic eagle with shield, olive branch, and arrows. Struck after the transition from silver to clad coinage, as the Mint adapted to modern production methods and record-breaking mintages. Denver's mint evolved from a frontier assay office into one of the nation's primary coin production facilities, opening in 1906. Estimated market value ranges from $1 to $4 depending on grade and condition. Struck in 75% copper, 25% nickel over a pure copper center, weighing 11.3 grams, 30.61 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #411635.
