I'm seriously interested in this coin, not because it's beautiful, but because it clearly demonstrates the problems the mint had with these...
Starting in 2002, Kennedy half dollars were minted only for collectors, and only available from the mint. According to David Lange (History of the...
I experienced the same frustration when I tried to fill a 7070 - one denomination of each of the Liberty Seated coins would have been enough for...
