Description
1981-P Kennedy Half, MS68
Sole Finest at NGC and PCGS
1981-P 50C MS68 NGC. The Kennedy halves of the late
1970s-early 1980s era are well-known to collectors as some of the
most elusive in high Mint State grades. Beginning around 1973 and
continuing through the mid-1980s (excepting the 1976 Bicentennial
coins), a series of hub changes continually enlarged the Kennedy
portrait while reducing the hair detail. The coins seem a bit
featureless, which tends to emphasize small contact marks and make
them appear poorly struck.The present brilliant coin is sharply struck and has essentially no contact marks, however, requiring a loupe to see the few tiny ones present. As the only MS68 of this issue currently certified at either service, this piece should be a real prize for NGC Registry Set collectors. When Rick Tomaska published his recent series guide, he noted that no MS68 pieces had yet been graded.(Registry values: N491)
