A striking 1979-S Type 2 Kennedy half dollar proof. This flawless example - graded PF70 Ultra Cameo by NGC - displays mirror-like fields and frosty ultra cameo relief. Only 16% of all 1979-S Type 2 Kennedy half dollar proofs graded Ultra Cameo by NGC have attained the PF70 Ultra Cameo designation, making this one of just 526 to do so. This is a stunning example of the issue.
