I posted before in the wrong section,

today I opened a closed letter of '71, inside there were uncirculated coins, two of them are Kennedy half dollars (one with d and the other one without it)

I upload an image (only one side): remember it is already in a sealed plastic bag)

It's a P & D set of uncirculated Kennedy half dollars..Copper clad issue...Keep an eye out for 64-70 half dollars like those as they are 40% silver.

What do you think about the grade? (the letter is from San Francisco, it's a mint set)

It looks to me that the obverse side that you posted is likely MS64 or higher, for me it is difficult to get an idea of those grades without having the coin in hand, especially when looking through the cellophane packaging.

It's tough to tell from the picture.

The Denver coin comes very nice in the mint set and Gems are fairly "common". Look at the shield on the reverse. If it is very clean then the coin may be very high grade.

These sets have a paper outer envelope with two plastic packages inside; one red striped and one blue striped. Typical sets go for about $4 but high grade coins can bring much more. The Denver minted coins are usually much better quality.
Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps.

Thanks, I will post a better picture, also at the reverse side.

Yes it's true what you said, inside the letter there were two plastic packages and two paper.
I'm not an expert, but the Denver's ones seems to be better then the Philadelphia ones.
