Question about 2017 half dollar

Picked up some loose half dollars the other day at the bank. Noticed the 2017 half dollar is slightly concave on the obverse ( face ) side. Is this a redesign feature?

Not a clue, but I too am interested to hear what is said on this subject.

In 2015 the Mint went back to the recessed design of the early years. It's a subtle but welcome change to the "flat" obverse we had for so long.

Thanks. It is aesthetically more pleasing to look at than the flat obverse. I also like the quarter Washington's cameo redesign too.
