<p>[QUOTE=&quot;silvrluvr, post: 72218, member: 4204&quot;]One of my favorite coin denominations is the Kennedy half. I&#039;m not a series collector, but the reverse of the eagle is very striking to me. I like the early ones in cam/dcam contrasting with the mirrored fields. The coins are special to me because:</p><p><br /></p><p>1) They have survived in collectible numbers.</p><p>2) Those earlier proofs weren&#039;t designed to be cameos like the more modern coins</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; so they have some relative rarity and uniqueness.</p><p>3) I consider their prices to be very reasonable.</p><p>4) They have precious metal content, (I am a &#039;silvrluvr&#039;).</p><p>5) They are good sized coins and the detail can be seen without really having</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; to use any magnification, (my eyes aren&#039;t so good).</p><p>6) They have some &#039;heft&#039; and feel substantial in my hand.</p><p>7) Oh, and did I say the design was appealing to my eyes?</p><p><br /></p><p>I like others too, but something just seems special about these coins to me. Maybe it&#039;s because I grew up during the sixties when people still spent them somewhat regularly and I had an early exposure to them. The Kennedy side is okay too, kind of like an everlasting memorial....(I don&#039;t discuss money, religion or politics).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
