2021 S NGC PF70 Advance Release (AR) Silver Kennedy Half Dollar 1st year of AR !

2021 San Francisco Mint Silver Proof Set Kennedy Half Dollar

NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo Advance Releases

This Kennedy half dollar from the 2021 Silver Proof Set is a unique coin.  Not only is it 99.9% fine silver, but this coin is designated Advanced Releases making it one of the few coins to garner that designation from the US Mint.  The Kennedy half dollars feature the original 1964 obverse (heads) design with the image of President John F. Kennedy. The design inscriptions on the obverse are “LIBERTY,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” and “2019.” The reverse (tails) design is based on the Presidential Coat of Arms. Inscriptions are “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” and “HALF DOLLAR.”

Advanced Releases is the only official designation made by the US Mint.  Advanced Releases coins are coins sold to the 18 largest coin buyers from the US Mint but represent only a fraction of the coins sold by the US Mint.  To be eligible for the Advanced Releases designation NGC must have the coins before the official release date from the US Mint.  The US Mint normally provides Advanced Releases coins to the largest dealers two days before the official release, meaning they must be immediately submitted to the grading companies to receive this extremely limited and desirable designation.

Proof coins are coins that the US Mint makes differently than standard circulating coins used for change.  Proof coins are manufactured by striking the coin numerous times under increased pressure to make the field (flat portion of the coin) have a mirrored finish.  Proof coins are specifically made for collectors since they have better eye appeal than standard circulating coins. Grading companies usually annotate proof coins with either PR or PF before the number grade.  Additionally, exceptional coins will be given Ultra Cameo or DCAM (deep cameo) designation for coins where the difference between the surface of the coin’s devices and the mirrored finish of the coin’s field are very pronounced.
