Struck at the Philadelphia (1981-P), Denver (1981-D), and San Francisco (1981-S) mints, these coins saw a combined production of over 60 million units. While circulated examples typically hold only face value, the year is highly regarded by collectors for its proof varieties. The 1981-S proof sets contain two distinct \"S\" mint mark styles: the common Type 1 \"Filled S\" and the much scarcer Type 2 \"Clear S,\" which features a sharp, well-defined mint mark that can command significant premiums in high grades. In the current 2026 market, pristine \"Superb Gem\" business strikes (graded MS-67 or higher) are particularly elusive due to the era's typically weak strikes and heavy bag marks, with top-tier specimens frequently reaching four-figure sums at auction.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EvoRelic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46147360293002,"sku":"41","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0694\/2126\/9130\/files\/U.S.MintKennedyHalfDollar1981.png?v=1746033337","url":"https:\/\/cardcoincomic.com\/products\/u-s-mint-kennedy-half-dollar-1981","provider":"Card Coin Comic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
