This is the first year in which the Mint struck 90% Silver Proof Kennedy Half's with an S mint mark. The last time the Mint had struck 90% Silver Proof Kennedy Half's was in 1964. However, the 1964 Proofs did not contain the S mint mark.

Additionally, the new Proof Silver Kennedy Half's struck from 1992 and after had slight differences in the details of the design. The 1992-S Silver Proofs had the lettering thicker on both the obverse and reverse than that of the 1964 Proofs. The Proof Silver Kennedy Half's have been struck by the U.S. Mint and sold in Silver Proof Sets every year since 1992.

Rarity and Survival Estimates Learn More

Grades	Survival Estimate 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.	Numismatic Rarity Numismatic Rarity converts the Survival Estimate for a particular coin into a number from 1 to 10 (with decimal increments) based on the PCGS Rarity Scale. The higher the number, the more rare the coin.	Relative Rarity by Type Relative Rarity By Type ranks the rarity of this coin with all other coins of this Type. Lower numbers indicate rarer coins.
