Jaime Hernandez

In 1994 the U.S. Mint made clad and silver proof Kennedy half dollars. The silver 1994-S Kennedy Half Proofs were fairly common but carry a premium due to their silver metal content. Examples up to PR69 Deep Cameo can easily be obtained inexpensively. Perfect PR70 Deep Cameo examples are a little tougher and carry a slight premium over PR69 Deep Cameo examples.

Survival estimates include coins that are raw, certified by PCGS, and certified by other grading services.
