I have a 1968 Kennedy Half Dollar and I'm wondering what makes it rare. Is it the year it was minted, the condition it's in, or something else entirely? I'd like to know more about its rarity and value.

The 1968-S Kennedy Half Dollars in Cameo condition are relatively rare for their mintage year.

Examples featuring Deep Cameo or Ultra Cameo finishes are particularly scarce among collectors.

The packaging for this set represented an advancement compared to the softer, less protective cases used for sets prior to 1961.

Despite this improvement, the plastic sleeve enclosing the coins was not airtight.
