This coin was recently added to several Modern Commemorative Sets as a 1982-D MS70, which moved it to the top ranking as these have been nearly impossible to find in true MS70.

It looks a lot like a 1982-S proof at first glance. Is this an extremely rare Denver mint uncirculated coin in MS70, or is it a label typo?

IF it is actually a proof and the label and certification number is inaccurate, then the label certificate number should be invalidated.

There is a risk someone could pay a lot for a rare population MS70 coin label, when the coin is really a PR70 1982-S half dollar commemorative which is very common.

Currently 2 of the 1982-D MS70's are now indicated in the population reports after 40 years. Do they really exist?
