The Survival Estimate represents an average of one or more experts' opinions as to how many examples survive of a particular coin in three categories: 1) all grades, 2) 60 or better, and 3) 65 or better. These estimates are based on a variety of sources, including population reports, auction appearances, and personal knowledge. Survival estimates include coins that are raw, certified by PCGS, and certified by other grading services.

Mitch Spivack:
The 1986-P Kennedy Half Dollar is common in Mint State grades up to MS65 as the Mint struck a little over 13 million coins. Nice examples in MS66 quality are “collectible” for only a few dollars raw as this series is still somewhat ignored. In MS67 condition, this coin is scarce with currently less than a hundred known. In MS67+ this coin becomes very scarce, and in grades MS68 and above nearly unheard of with less than a handful of examples known at PCGS after grading over 550 examples over the past roughly (38) years (11/26/24).
