The 1896 half dollar, despite a mintage of 950,000 is quite rare in MS65 or finer grades. At first glance, the highly reflective fields, especially on the obverse suggest a Proof striking. Indeed, the devices are sharply struck and the rims show a wire “fin”, similar to that on Proofs. However, we have compared this coin to actual Proofs, and the definition of the central details on the obverse are clearly softer, the depth of strike in the hair curls, laurel leaves, and facial details are not as crisp. The reverse details likewise show some softness in the feather details. Both sides are richly toned and the eye appeal is truly special. The lustrous surfaces show full Prooflike reflection on the obverse, and semi-PL luster on the reverse. There are a few minor lines and ticks under the toning, none of which have an impact on the naked eye appeal and are only visible with the aid of a glass. PCGS 2, NGC 3.

LOT 336 50C 1964 S.M.S. PCGS SP67+ A truly special modern rarity. One of the greatest non-error modern issues of the U.S. Mint and its greatness comes from the mystery of its creation. After the assassination of President Kennedy, officials at the mint rushed to create a numismatic tribute to him, thus ending the Franklin half dollar and the beginning of the Kennedy half dollar. Since the Franklin half dollar had not been in use for the required 25 years, an act of congress authorized the redesign. Indeed, just a few days after the events in Dallas, mint director Eva Adams had Gilroy Roberts, the Chief Engraver to prepare models depicting the slain president. In January 1964, the first 1964 J.F.K. halves were struck, amounting to a total production of over 429 million circulation strikes between Philadelphia and Denver and nearly four million Proofs. Somewhere along the line about a dozen Specimen strikings were produced. These are clearly different in style to either those struck for circulation or Proofs. The devices on these Specimens are sharply struck, with exceptionally bold definition in the hair and the rims are high up and fully squared and the fields show extensive die polishing marks in the reverse fields. The obverse details include a small tine off the crossbar of the 4, a feature that has never been observed on any other 1964 half dollar, Mint State or Proof, showing that these dies were used for this small production and that is it. Whether these are die trials for the new design, or a bridge to the Special Mint Set pieces struck 1965-67, we do not know for sure. The first example of these specially produced half dollars appeared in Stack’s June 1991 auction, where a full 1964 set with special prepared dies was offered in lot 591. What is suspected is that these sets were made special for Eva Adams for distribution as gifts or for herself, and were sold to New York dealer Lester Merkin sometime shortly before her death in August 1991 and his in June 1992. The remaining sets that he had purchased were sold in Stack’s auctions from 1991 to 1995; a total of 9 sets made their way into the market that way. Today, about a dozen Specimen 1964 half dollars are known, making this the RAREST of all JFK half dollars, and the rarest non-error modern coin of the U.S. series. Between PCGS and NGC there are 23 examples graded, which no doubt include crossovers, upgrades, resubmissions, etc. This spectacular coin is one of the two graded SP67+ at PCGS, the same grade as the D. Brent Pogue Collection coin, and is the median grade for PCGS-graded specimens. The surfaces are brilliant with its unique satiny texture that sets these wonderful rarities apart from their Mint State and Proof counterparts. There is a single minor mark on the ST of STATES, which will forever identify this important coin. PCGS 2, NGC 1. In the past couple of years, these have taken off, as Registry collectors have fiercely gone after the precious few that have appeared in auction. A PCGS SP67 sold in April 2019 for $108,000 and an SP68 sold in the 2019 ANA auction for $156,000. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $115,000, and it would not shock us if this SUPERB coin brought that or more when the hammer falls. PCGS# 6844 | ESTIMATE: $97,500+ 129
