<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 3382, member: 112&quot;]The records you speak of are available. But in a nutshell all Kennedy half dollars struck for business use over the years have been already been released into circulation with a couple exceptions. That being the coins struck in 2000 &amp; 2001. For more information on those coins - use the following link - <a href="http://www.coinworld.com/news/093002/news-5.asp" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinworld.com/news/093002/news-5.asp" rel="nofollow">2001 Kennedy halves</a>.&nbsp; There were no Kennedy halves struck for business use in 2002 or 2003. And it is highly unlikely there will be any struck for 2004.</p><p><br /></p><p>Other than the coins from &#039;00 &amp; &#039;01 there are no massive hoardes of Kennedy halves sitting in the Mint&#039;s vaults. They have all been released into the system. They are in the Federal Reserve bank&#039;s vaults, regular banks vaults and the hands of collectors &amp; dealers. </p><p><br /></p><p>The reason you rarely see one of the coins in circulation is because every time somebody gets one in change - they take it home and put it away - convinced that the coins must be rare because they are so seldom seen.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
