Kennedy halves typically bore the snot outta me, but I needed a type coin and it’s from my birthyear.
I remember that when these first appeared, some thought that Gilroy Robert's initials (underside of Kennedy's neck) was a communist hammer and sickle.
I thought it was some kind of weird twisted wire attachment, as though to mount the head on a mannequin. (Bear in mind I was six or seven years old at the time and knew nothing about coins OR mannequins.)
Yep. No matter what grade you get, it still looks just like him, lol. Just joking. To be doing something, I completed the set from 1964-2025. But, the most important thing I took away from your post, the year you were born is the year I graduated high school, lol!
