“The set...contains the following four Kennedy Half–Dollar coins — one from each of the United States Mint’s coin production facilities — struck in 90% silver in the following four finishes.
The enhanced uncirculated finish coin features a special wire brushing technique. The portrait, lettering, and border on the obverse (heads), and the lettering and border on the reverse (tails), will receive a heavy laser frosting treatment. Other elements of the eagle on the reverse will receive a standard (moderate) laser frosting treatment to enhance certain artistic detail. The stars will receive a laser polish technique to accentuate them against the field.
The obverse design on the coins in this set replicate the portrait on the 1964 design by United States Mint Sculptor–Engraver Gilroy Roberts, which was based on a portrait prepared for John F. Kennedy’s presidential medal. All coins are encapsulated and secured in coin wells within an embossed leatherette–type folder that features the same image of Kennedy that appears on the coins in this set, with patriotic imagery of stars and stripes. The coins are mounted in the packaging to show the obverse of each coin as follows (from left to right): reverse proof, proof, enhanced uncirculated, and uncirculated. The reverse of each coin can be seen by removing the capsule from the packaging, which can be displayed as a trifold or stored and protected by an outer sleeve. A certificate of authenticity and a booklet with information and images about the 1964 Kennedy Half–Dollar design are tucked into a panel of the folder.”
