1995 (P) Kennedy Half Dollar - SKH-50c-1995P-01 Spiked Head

Description

Cataloged by Cuds on Coins under the cross-reference SKH-50c-1995P-01, this variety documents a die crack into the bust on the half dollar denomination during the same year that generated extraordinary collector interest in die varieties across all denominations. The 1995-P Kennedy Half Dollar was produced in copper-nickel clad composition with a mintage substantially lower than cent production, meaning fewer die pairs were consumed and fewer cracked dies of this kind could occur in absolute numbers. Kennedy Half Dollar spiked heads are considerably rarer in the catalog than cent spiked heads, making each documented example noteworthy. As the sole spiked head for the 1995-P half dollar, this variety may represent a unique die event, and its first-and-only status on a date renowned for die varieties across other denominations gives it particular collector appeal within the broader context of 1995's numismatic significance.
