1982-P Kennedy Half Dollar BU (NO-FG Variety)
The 1982-P Kennedy half dollar contains a fascinating anomaly that captures the attention of sharp-eyed observers. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, this particular variety is famous for what is missing from its design. On standard issues, the initials of the reverse sculptor are nestled near the eagle's leg, yet on this scarce variety, those letters are completely absent, likely due to over-polishing of the coin dies during production. On the obverse, the portrait of John F. Kennedy faces left, accompanied by the traditional national motto "IN GOD WE TRUST" split across the lower field. The reverse features the presidential coat of arms, surrounded by the inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and the denomination "HALF DOLLAR". This specific coin is certified in Specimen 64 (SP-64) condition, highlighting the unusual minting error on a beautifully preserved surface.
