Description & Comments
This 1993 S Kennedy Half Dollar is certified NGC PF 70 Ultra Cameo and shows the classic modern silver proof look with deeply mirrored fields, heavy frosted devices, and strong black-and-white contrast across Kennedy's portrait and the Heraldic Eagle reverse. The obverse displays crisp hair, profile, lettering, date, and mintmark detail, while the reverse shows sharp eagle, shield, stars, rays, legends, and denomination detail.
The PF 70 Ultra Cameo grade gives this San Francisco silver proof excellent certified appeal for a Kennedy Half Dollar registry set, a modern silver proof collection, or a top-grade U.S. type coin lineup. The NGC holder presents cleanly with a John F. Kennedy portrait label and reverse hologram, adding polished holder presence to an already high-contrast silver proof.
Note: We used two photos from NGC's Certification Site for this exact coin (no SCMG logo).
