My Half Dollar Type Collection

Nice presentation, WL!

I believe that 1795 is the "Funky Chicken" variety.

Nice set you have there. Love the early dates.

 

Very Nice. -What are you going to do if and when the half dollar is no longer minted?
I am working on 1/2 dollar type set for my California Territorials. I need the Indian Round Half dollar.

 

WOW! this is the first thread in a long time that had me agog. Wonderful collection you should be proud.

 

thank you augustine, kookoox10, and markh!

cpm9ball, yes, the funky chicken ... i like it! it's such an emaciated eagle -- it really sticks out when compared to later designs.

sunflower, they are already not releasing Kennedy's into circulation. I think the only way to get a 2010 or 2011 Kennedy half is sign up for the direct ship program. I wouldn't be surprised if they stopped minting the half altogether at some point (we all know these coins dont circulate, and you can't use them in most vending machines and parking meters). Sort of sad if you ask me -- then again i use my debit card instead of cash these days so I never handle actual money any more -- so I suppose I am a contributor to this problem.

nickels, that should be our ultimate goal in posting, to make people agog (great word)

 

I love your collection. Absolutely beautiful.
