The 1972 Kennedy Half Dollar was the second year issued in the copper clad composition. Mintages remained relatively high with nearly 300 million coins produced across two mint facilities. As was the case for the previous year, the Denver Mint issue more frequently encountered in high grades, while the Philadelphia Mint issue can be difficult, especially in MS67.
Proof coins were minted in San Francisco and included in the US Mint’s annual proof set.
