1964 Kennedy Half Dollar, PR68
Deep Cameo Accented Hair Variant

1964 50C Accented Hair, FS-401, PR68 Deep Cameo PCGS. The Kennedy design was introduced on the half dollar in 1964 and coins struck early in the year show extra detail in the hair below the part, hence the Accented Hair nomenclature. The slain President's widow, Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy, apparently disliked this motif and the design was soon modified to deemphasize this feature. The easiest way to recognize this popular Guide Book and Cherrypickers variety is by the broken left foot of the I in LIBERTY.

The present coin is a magnificent PR68 specimen, with razor-sharp definition on the richly frosted design elements and deeply reflective fields that create intense cameo contrast when the coin is tilted in the light. The brilliant surfaces are impeccably preserved and overall eye appeal is terrific. Population: 18 in 68 (1 in 68+) Deep Cameo, 1 finer (6/19).
