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.

根据1988年造币厂主任的年度报告，由于通常的行政报告，肯尼迪一半的一半票房没有被一般发行量。

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.

那些已经流通的硬币被认为“足以满足当前需求”，所有新鲜的碎片都注定要用于薄荷套装。至于其他美国薄荷产品选项，844,291 1987年的证明套装和102,245 1987 1987年的声望证明套装是通过邮购和1987年6月至1988年6月之间的薄荷零售地点购买的。由于旧金山薄荷是唯一制作的证明版本的唯一一套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.

虽然1987年在丹佛（Denver）和费城造币厂生产的肯尼迪（Kennedy）一半很少（每件2,890,758件），但旧金山提供了大量证明的罢工。除了1976年的高年级薄荷外，当造币厂击中了7,059,099个校友证明和40万40％的40％证明银牌时，旧金山的设施在1987年的整个系列中拥有最高的铸币。

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.

尽管CherryPickers Guide或Varivervista.com上都没有重要品种，但美国造币厂开始在1987-S的一半上使用MMS-007样式Mintmark。 007风格于1987年推出，直到1990年在证明肯尼迪一半上都使用，比以前的“非常高”的MMS-006风格稍厚。

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

1987-S肯尼迪半美元的证明价值多少？

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，美国的证明套装丰富且价格便宜，因此不难获得1987-S肯尼迪半美元证明的一个很好的例子。

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.

大多数示例保留在原始的政府包装中，但是领先的评分服务已经封装了数千条证据。令人沮丧的是，潜在的人口是该问题的终端似乎是证明70，这意味着即使在“完美”等级中，提交者也不太可能从硬币的封装中获利。

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.

有时，示例输入流通；本文的一位作者于1989年在弗吉尼亚州的Hopewell商店购买了糖果。受损，流通或低级1987-S的证明价值在面值至1美元之间。

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日在美国造币厂的首席雕刻师吉尔罗伊·罗伯茨（Gilroy Roberts）设计的。Roberts还设计了肯尼迪（Kennedy）的就职颁奖典礼，该奖牌是目前设计的基础。

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.

中央图案是美国第35任总统，已故的约翰·菲茨杰拉德·肯尼迪（John Fitzgerald Kennedy）的雕像。肯尼迪（Kennedy）是有史以来最年轻的总统的战争英雄，（当时）是1961年1月20日开幕的，并于1963年11月22日被暗杀。该国的悲伤如此之多，以至于国会和美国的薄荷急于通过半美元的派代表，以纪念丧亲的政治人物。

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.

在边缘的上半上面是自由词，肯尼迪的头发覆盖了字母“ b”，“ e”和“ r”的底部。 1987年的日期在硬币的底部被摇篮，而我们信任的上帝的民族座右铭是在一年以上的一条直线上刻有，但被肯尼迪脖子的急剧截断而分开。 Mintmark S位于此截断点的右侧。

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

吉尔罗伊·罗伯茨（Gilroy Roberts）的名字缩写位于肯尼迪（Kennedy）胸围的截断线上，在硬币右侧的“我们”上方。
