1964 Accent Hair Kennedy Half Dollar graded PF 68 Cameo by NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Corporation). The NGC certification number for this coin is 563986-008.

The 1964 Accent Hair Kennedy Half Dollar is a 50-cent coin minted in the United States. The Kennedy Half Dollar, designed by Gilroy Roberts (obverse) and Frank Gasparro (reverse), was first introduced in 1964 to honor President John F. Kennedy. The obverse features a portrait of Kennedy, while the reverse shows the Presidential Seal with an eagle and a shield.

The Accent Hair variety is an early die variety of the 1964 Kennedy Half Dollar proof coin, which features slightly different hair details above Kennedy's ear, with some of the hair lines merged. This variety is scarce and sought after by collectors.

A PF 68 grade assigned by NGC indicates that the coin is in Proof State and near-perfect condition, with only a few minute imperfections. Proof coins are specially struck for collectors, with a sharp strike and mirror-like fields.

The "Cameo" designation is given to proof coins that exhibit a strong contrast between the frosted, raised design elements (such as the portrait and inscriptions) and the mirror-like fields of the coin. This contrast creates a visually appealing effect that is highly sought after by collectors.

In summary, the 1964 Accent Hair Kennedy Half Dollar with NGC certification number 563986-008 is a scarce proof coin with a PF 68 Cameo grade, indicating that it is in near-perfect condition with a strong contrast between the frosted design elements and mirror-like fields.
