The 2001-S Kennedy Half Dollars struck in 90% silver and certified by PCGS as Proof-69 Deep Cameo (PR-69 DCAM) hold significant numismatic value and historical significance. These coins were the last silver Kennedy Half Dollars minted for circulation, marking the end of an era for this popular commemorative design.

The PCGS PR-69 DCAM designation indicates that these 2001-S Kennedy Half Dollars exhibit exceptional strike quality, deep cameo contrast between the frosted device and mirror-like fields, and virtually flawless surfaces, making them highly sought-after by collectors and investors alike.
As the final silver Kennedy Half Dollars minted for circulation, the 2001-S PCGS PR-69 DCAM coins hold a special place in numismatic history, serving as a tangible connection to the enduring legacy of President Kennedy and the rich tradition of silver coinage in the United States.
