1964 Kennedy Half Dollar Accented Hair Silver PF68 NGC Brown Label

This Accented Hair variety Proof Kennedy Half dollar displays an extra hair right above Kennedy's ear as opposed to a regular coin that would have less hair above his ear. This variety is also detectable within the word "LIBERTY" as the lower left serif is missing on the letter "I." This particular coin is certified by NGC in a PF68 condition.

Gilroy Roberts, chief engraver of the Mint from 1948 to 1964, designed the obverse of this coin. His stylized initials are on the truncation of the forceful bust of President John F. Kennedy. The reverse, which uses the presidential coat of arms for the motif, is the work of Frank Gasparro, who was appointed chief engraver in February 1965. A few of the pieces dated 1971-D and 1977-D were struck in silver clad composition by error.
