1981-S Kennedy Half Dollar – PCGS PR69DCAM Type 1 | Deep Cameo Proof | Series 47PR Coin 14
“A true one-of-a-kind piece in our inventory — once sold, it may not be available again.”
The 1981-S Kennedy Half Dollar (Type 1) is a classic modern proof issue from the Kennedy Half Dollar series, struck at the San Francisco Mint exclusively for collectors. This example features the Type 1 “Filled S” mint mark, the earlier style used before the introduction of the clearer Type 2 mint mark later in the year.
Graded PR69DCAM (Proof 69 Deep Cameo) by Professional Coin Grading Service, this coin is in near-perfect condition, exhibiting exceptional mirror-like fields and strong frosted devices. The deep cameo contrast gives the coin outstanding eye appeal, making it a premium addition to any modern proof collection.
While 1981 proof halves are widely collected, high-grade examples with strong cameo contrast—especially certified by PCGS—remain highly desirable. This coin is also cataloged as Series 47PR, Coin 14, adding an extra layer of collectibility for registry and set builders.
