<p>[QUOTE=&quot;onecenter, post: 1687224, member: 8703&quot;]I do not wish to see the Kennedy half dollar eliminated.&nbsp; It is the bedrock coin that eventually enticed me into this hobby actively since 1969.&nbsp; The Kennedy half actually circulated then, although they were withdrawn in huge numbers by the public and kept as souvenirs.&nbsp; Always remember that in 1964, more half dollars were minted with that date, than all of the half dollars minted since 1796, combined!</p><p><br /></p><p>Whenever I receive a clad version in circulation, the coin gets spent.&nbsp; Often there are strange reactions to a coin many have never seen or have not seen in years.&nbsp; Twenty-five years ago, I used a Kennedy half dollar in change and was asked, &quot;Who is this person on the coin?&nbsp; I have never seen one of these.&quot;&nbsp; (As an aside, this same &#039;what is this?&#039; reaction occured a couple of weeks ago after an office colleague received a Washington dollar.)</p><p><br /></p><p>The Kennedy design will be 50 years old in 2014 and I am looking forward to another special coin to be minted similar to the 1996W Roosevelt dime, at minimum.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
