1998-S 50c Silver Matte Finish

Coin / United States of America / 1998 / San Francisco / Kennedy Halves / 50c

This Kennedy half dollar is especially popular because it was only released with the 2-piece Kennedy Brother set, paired with a mint state 1998-S RFK Commemorative silver dollar. It has a special matte (satin) finish. The 62,000 coin mintage is very low for a Kennedy half.
