Most Valuable Kennedy Half Dollar
1970-S Kennedy Half Dollar PCGS PR66 Struck On A 25C Planchet $7,475
One look at this coin shows you it’s decidedly odd. Kennedy’s head is squashed right up against the top rim. And at the bottom, the date barely fits onto the coin.
This unusual appearance is the result of a rare error at the San Francisco mint that produced the coin. Instead of a planchet – a metal disc – for a half dollar, one for a quarter was used instead.
That’s even more surprising, as this is a proof coin – one supposed to be of superior quality and produced for collectors. Proofs should be inspected before leaving the mint. This one, though, was evidently overlooked.
Because errors like this are so infrequent, the resulting coins are very collectable. This 1970 Kennedy half dollar sold for $7,475 when it came to auction in January 2007.

Gold Pattern Leads Central States Sale to $27.8 Million
Three Heritage Auction events combine to break records, led by PF-64 Cameo graded 1863 $10 gold coin.
An 1863 $10, Judd-349, PF-64 Cameo, PCGS, CAC soared to a record $810,000 to lead Heritage’s Central States Numismatic Society U.S. Coins Signature® Auction to $27,825,772.
Hammering at an impressive $810,000, this 1863 $10 gold coin graded PF-64 Cameo led the U.S. coin selections of Heritage’s Central States auction to more than $27 million.

That total, combined with Heritage’s CSNS Currency Signature® Auction, which ended at $12,610,964, and the CSNS World & Ancient Coins Platinum Session and Signature® Auction, which reached $11,904,407, raised the total for the three events to $52,341,143.
The 1863 Judd-349 $10, which smashed its previous auction record (set in the coin’s last auction appearance in 1988) of $64,900, is the only gold specimen known to collectors from these dies, and it claims an unbroken pedigree back to its day of striking. Only a few numismatic issues – Judd-349 among them – can claim to be unique. This coin was among the Important Selections from The Bob R. Simpson Collection, Part XII featured in the auction, a trove from which highlights also included a 1795 13 Leaves Eagle, BD-1, MS-64+ that drew 37 bids on its way to $600,000 and three coins: a 1796 BD-1 Eagle, MS-62+ PCGS, CAC, an 1839 Gobrecht dollar, Judd-109 Restrike, Pollock-122, Unique, PF-64 Red and Brown PCGS and a 1799 $10 Large Obverse Stars MS-65 PCGS, CAC– each of which reached $360,000.

In May, for the second consecutive month, the United States Mint increased its pace of striking coins for circulation. However, the monthly production level remained well below 1 billion for the ninth month in a row, following eight consecutive months above that threshold.
The U.S. Mint produced over 396 million coins, including cents, nickels, dimes, quarters, and half dollars, representing a 7.6% increase from April but a 72.1% drop from May 2022. Additionally, the Mint published mintages for the 2024 Patsy Takemoto Mink quarter for the first time.
