In 2014, to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the iconic Kennedy Half Dollar, the U.S. Mint struck a special issue featuring the original Frank Gasparro and Gilroy Roberts designs in gold. Struck from ¾ of an ounce of pure .999 fine gold, this Kennedy Half Dollar is one of the few issues to feature High Relief versions of the classic Kennedy obverse and reverse. Not only is this the first Kennedy struck in gold, but it is the only issue from the anniversary series to feature the date ''1964 - 2014'' on the obverse. This specific 2014-W Gold Kennedy Half Dollar has been graded in perfect Proof 70 Ultra Cameo condition. With only 73,772 examples struck, the 2014-W Gold Kennedy Half Dollar is the third lowest minted Kennedy of the entire series and an Absolute Rarity.
