What happened to make the 2012 Silver Proof Kennedy so expensive? I see it is selling for $90-$125 .

<< <i>can only get it from the 2012-s silver set which 175-185 range, break up value of the set Is too low to come out with out charging a strong price for the half >>
Can also get it from the 2012 Limited Edition Silver Proof Set, mintage 50,000. PCGS PR70 specimens from the Limited Edition Set are fetching double the price of PCGS PR70 specimens from the regular silver proof set.

Why would that be? Is there a difference in the dies used for the limited edition? If you were to break out a limited edition PROOF set at home and send in the half, could PCGS tell it from a regular PROOF coin or is the price difference just in the words "Limited Edition"?

The coins are identical, the set designation makes all the difference. PCGS lists them as "Limited Edition PR Set" on the label. First Strikes are scarce, as few people saved Limited Edition sets in sealed mint packaging because they initially were not aware that the special label was available. There are quite a few other coins where differences in the label can mean a big difference in price.

It is in a low mintage Proof Set and of course, EVERYBODY knows that the only reason folks buy Silver Proof Sets is for the Kennedy Half Dollar! RIGHT?
Wrong!
The low mintage proof sets has brought out the Hypsters. Give it a few years and prices will come down significantly.
