Beginning in 1992, the Mint offered special, 90% silver Kennedy Half Dollars for sale to collectors; these are available only as Proofs. In 1998 only, 90% silver Half Dollars were issued in both brilliant and matte Proof formats. The later 90% silver Half Dollars are included with the 1964 issues as a distinct type because of their similar metal content.

This is the second year the Mint struck modern Proof Kennedy Half Dollars composed of mostly silver. The coins came in Silver Proof Sets from the year as the Mint also produced Clad Proof Sets. The 1993-S Proof Silver Kennedy Half Dollar came in nice quality ranging from PR69-PR70 Deep Cameo condition.
