1979-S Kennedy Half Dollar PF-69 UCAM NGC (Type I)
The 1979-S Kennedy Half Dollar represents a brilliant moment in modern American coinage. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, this Type I variety is composed of a copper-nickel outer layer bonded to a core of pure copper. The coin has been graded in nearly perfect Proof 69 Ultra Cameo condition, a designation that highlights the intense contrast between the frosted, raised details and the deep, mirror-like fields. On the obverse, the profile of President John F. Kennedy faces left, a design created by Gilroy Roberts. This side features the poignant inscription of the national motto, "IN GOD WE TRUST," positioned below the portrait. The reverse, designed by Frank Gasparro, displays a powerful heraldic eagle clutching both a bundle of arrows and an olive branch, symbolizing strength and peace. The eagle is surrounded by the inscription "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and the denomination "HALF DOLLAR," with the traditional Latin motto "E PLURIBUS UNUM" placed above the eagle's head.
