The Kennedy Half Dollar, designed by Frank Gasparro and Gilroy Roberts, began its mintage in 1964 and continues to be struck to this day. This specific example was struck at the Denver Mint in the first year of issue, 1964, and has been graded in Mint State 67 condition. To add to the rarity of this stunning coin, it has been housed in Rick Tomaska's exclusive Signature series holder. These renowned holders are only given to Kennedy Half Dollars that Rick Tomaska has inspected and deemed to exhibit the highest quality luster and eye appeal for their date and grade. As the first year of issue for Kennedy Half Dollars, these are among the most highly sought-after examples in the series. Out of every 1964-D Kennedy Half Dollar struck, only 12  examples have been graded in MS67 condition and housed in Rick Tomaska's hand-signed holders. As the highest graded 1964-D Kennedy Half Dollar is just one grade above at MS68, this coin is not only a Condition Rarity, but also among the finest known.
