According to the 1988 Annual Report of the Director of the Mint, no Kennedy Half Dollar was struck for general circulation in 1987 due to the usual round of administrative reports.

根據1988年造幣廠主任的年度報告，由於通常的行政報告，肯尼迪一半的一半票房沒有被一般發行量。

Those coins already in circulation were deemed “sufficient for current needs,” and all freshly struck pieces were destined for Mint Sets. As for other United States Mint product options, 844,291 1987 Proof Sets and 102,245 1987 Prestige Proof Sets were purchased via mail order and at Mint retail locations between June 1987 and June 1988. Since the San Francisco Mint was the only facility that produced Proof versions, these sets all contained a 1987-S Kennedy Half Dollar Proof.

那些已經流通的硬幣被認為“足以滿足當前需求”，所有新鮮的碎片都注定要用於薄荷套裝。至於其他美國薄荷產品選項，844,291 1987年的證明套裝和102,245 1987 1987年的聲望證明套裝是通過郵購和1987年6月至1988年6月之間的薄荷零售地點購買的。由於舊金山薄荷是唯一製作的證明版本的唯一一套1987-S kennedy kenned tollar dollar a volledy belterney toelds serations。

While few business-strike Kennedy halves were produced at the Denver and Philadelphia mints in 1987 (2,890,758 pieces each), San Francisco provided a bumper crop of Proof strikes. Besides the high Bicentennial mintages of 1976, when the Mint struck 7,059,099 clad Proof and 4,000,000 million 40% silver Proof pieces, the San Francisco facility had its highest mintage of the entire series in 1987. At 4,227,728, the total run from San Francisco in 1987 was almost 25% higher than any year since 1981.

雖然1987年在丹佛（Denver）和費城造幣廠生產的肯尼迪（Kennedy）一半很少（每件2,890,758件），但舊金山提供了大量證明的罷工。除了1976年的高年級薄荷外，當造幣廠擊中了7,059,099個校友證明和40萬40％的40％證明銀牌時，舊金山的設施在1987年的整個系列中擁有最高的鑄幣。

While there are no significant varieties in either the Cherrypickers Guide or on varietyvista.com, the U.S. Mint started using the MMS-007 style mintmark on the 1987-S half. The 007 style, introduced in 1987 and used until 1990 on Proof Kennedy halves, is slightly thicker than the previous “very tall” MMS-006 style.

儘管CherryPickers Guide或Varivervista.com上都沒有重要品種，但美國造幣廠開始在1987-S的一半上使用MMS-007樣式Mintmark。 007風格於1987年推出，直到1990年在證明肯尼迪一半上都使用，比以前的“非常高”的MMS-006風格稍厚。

How Much Is the 1987-S Kennedy Half Dollar Proof Worth?

1987-S肯尼迪半美元的證明價值多少？

1987 United States Proof Sets are plentiful and inexpensive, so it is not difficult to acquire a nice example of a 1987-S Kennedy Half Dollar Proof.

1987年，美國的證明套裝豐富且價格便宜，因此不難獲得1987-S肯尼迪半美元證明的一個很好的例子。

Most examples remain in original government packaging, but several thousand Proofs have been encapsulated by the leading grading services. Depressing that potential population is the fact that the issue’s terminal point appears to be Proof 70, which means even in “perfect” grade, a submitter is not likely to profit from the encapsulation of the coin.

大多數示例保留在原始的政府包裝中，但是領先的評分服務已經封裝了數千條證據。令人沮喪的是，潛在的人口是該問題的終端似乎是證明70，這意味著即使在“完美”等級中，提交者也不太可能從硬幣的封裝中獲利。

Occasionally, examples enter circulation; one of the authors of this article spent one in 1989 to buy candy at a Hopewell, Virginia convenience store. Impaired, circulated, or low-grade 1987-S Proofs are worth between face value and $1.

有時，示例輸入流通；本文的一位作者於1989年在弗吉尼亞州的Hopewell商店購買了糖果。受損，流通或低級1987-S的證明價值在面值至1美元之間。

Design

設計

Obverse:

ververse：

The obverse of the Kennedy Half Dollar was designed by Gilroy Roberts, Chief Engraver at the United States Mint from July 22, 1948, to February 11, 1965. Roberts also designed President Kennedy’s inaugural medal, which served as the basis of the present design.

肯尼迪半美元的正面是由1948年7月22日至1965年2月11日在美國造幣廠的首席雕刻師吉爾羅伊·羅伯茨（Gilroy Roberts）設計的。 Roberts還設計了肯尼迪（Kennedy）的就職頒獎典禮，該獎牌是目前設計的基礎。

The central motif is an effigy of the 35th President of the United States, the late John Fitzgerald Kennedy. A war hero and (at the time) the youngest person ever elected president, Kennedy was inaugurated on January 20, 1961, and assassinated on November 22, 1963. The nation’s grief was such that Congress and the U.S. Mint rushed through a design change on the half dollar denomination to commemorate the bereaved politician.

中央圖案是美國第35任總統，已故的約翰·菲茨杰拉德·肯尼迪（John Fitzgerald Kennedy）的雕像。肯尼迪（Kennedy）是有史以來最年輕的總統的戰爭英雄，（當時）是1961年1月20日開幕的，並於1963年11月22日被暗殺。該國的悲傷如此之多，以至於國會和美國的薄荷急於通過半美元的派代表，以紀念喪親的政治人物。

Atop the upper half of the rim is the word LIBERTY, with Kennedy’s hair covering the bottom portions of the letters “B”, “E”, and “R”. The date 1987 is cradled at the bottom of the coin, while the national motto IN GOD WE TRUST is inscribed in a straight line above the year but divided by the sharp truncation of Kennedy’s neck. The mintmark S is on the right side of the point of this truncation.

在邊緣的上半上面是自由詞，肯尼迪的頭髮覆蓋了字母“ b”，“ e”和“ r”的底部。 1987年的日期在硬幣的底部被搖籃，而我們信任的上帝的民族座右銘是在一年以上的一條直線上刻有，但被肯尼迪脖子的急劇截斷而分開。 Mintmark S位於此截斷點的右側。

Gilroy Roberts’ initials are on the truncation line of Kennedy’s bust, above the “WE” on the bottom right side of the coin.

吉爾羅伊·羅伯茨（Gilroy Roberts）的名字縮寫位於肯尼迪（Kennedy）胸圍的截斷線上，在硬幣右側的“我們”上方。
