The 1981-S Kennedy Half Dollar Type 2 is a stunning proof coin struck at the San Francisco Mint for collector sets. Minted in copper-nickel clad, this coin features the iconic portrait of President John F. Kennedy, with the Type 2 designation referring to the slightly narrower lettering style on the obverse “LIBERTY” – a detail prized by advanced collectors. Proof coins from this period were struck using polished dies and specially prepared planchets, producing sharp design details, mirror-like fields, and exceptional eye appeal.
This coin has been professionally graded by PCGS as PR67 Deep Cameo (PR67DCAM), indicating a top-tier proof with brilliant mirrored surfaces, frosted devices, and striking cameo contrast. Deep Cameo proofs are rarer and more desirable than standard cameo proofs, making this coin highly sought after by collectors building high-quality Kennedy Half Dollar sets.
Over 40 years old, the 1981-S PR67 Deep Cameo Type 2 Kennedy Half Dollar represents a premium example of modern U.S. proof coinage. Its high grade, deep cameo designation, and PCGS certification make it a standout addition to any proof collection, variety set, or certified coin portfolio.
