Jaime Hernandez

The 1996-S Proof Silver Kennedy Half Dollar came well struck and is fairly common for the series. Most examples appear to be in PR68-PR69 Deep Cameo condition. Examples in perfect PR70 Deep Cameo condition are a little scarcer but enough examples exist in this condition to keep them affordable for most collectors.
