Message:: [QUOTE="Caleb, post: 1811410, member: 32795"]If Congress wanted to recognize the 50th anniversary of the “Kennedy Half Dollar”, there are a few things they could do and generate some funds for the coffers of the US Treasury. 1.  Besides the standard issues, P, D, Clad Proof and Silver Proof the US Mint could issue a silver and clad “W” mint mark example. 2.  Or the US Mint could issue a ten coin half dollar commemorative set for 2014 celebrating the Presidency of John Kennedy.  Keep the obverse of the current half dollar (on second thought, go back to the original 1964 obverse design) and the reverse changed to:   a.  The devastated failure of the “Bay Of Pigs”.   b.  The Start of the “Space Race”.   c.  The “Berlin Airlift”.   d.  Marilyn Monroe.   e.  The “Hoover Boys” going after the KKK in Mississippi.   f.  The “Cubin Missile Crisis”.   g.  President Kennedy thumbing his nose to the Federal Reserve by issuing “United State   Notes”.   h.  The Presidential motor cage in Dealey Plazaas seen through a rifle scope from the Book Depository.   i.  Little John saluting his father’s casket.   j.  The grave site of President Kennedy with the internal flame being lit.[/QUOTE]
