The year 1974 saw the United States mint in San Francisco, Philadelphia, and Denver create Kennedy Half Dollars. Those issued at the Denver and Philadelphia mint appear to be selling for between $1.50 and $3.00, while the San Francisco specimens tend to sell for $3 to $9 for the proof. Silver Proof 1974 Half Dollars were minted but these only came from the mint as a special order.
In terms of errors 1974 really doesn't have any standouts to be aware of. All the normal errors are there however. The DDO's and DDR's (Double Die Obverse and Reverse), as well as clipped planchet errors. It seems however all the planchet errors that were originally seen with the changeover from silver to copper / nickel planchets in 1971 have resolved themselves.

How much is a 1974 S Kennedy Half Dollar Proof worth?
This section is more of a layman's guide, for those new to collecting.
In Average Circulated (AC) condition it's worth around 50 cents, one in certified mint state (MS+) condition could bring as much as $8 at auction. This price does not reference any standard coin grading scale. So when we say Average Circulated, we mean in a similar condition to other coins circulated in 1974, and mint state meaning it is certified MS+ by one of the top coin grading companies. *** [?].
