<p>[QUOTE=&quot;usc96, post: 1350488, member: 25676&quot;]I wonder if half dollars would have fallen out of favor if they had been switched to clad with all of the other denominations in 1965?&nbsp; Having shifted from 90% in &#039;64 to 40% in &#039;65 to 0% in &#039;70, when quarters and dimes went straight to 0% in &#039;65 probably led to hoarding of halves and the demise of their day to day usage.&nbsp; The move from Franklin to the new Kennedy bust right after the assassination probably didn&#039;t help matters, since Kennedy&#039;s popularity probably increased hoarding of what might have been seen as a collectible commemorative?</p><p><br /></p><p>Would love to see them get popular again, but then again, I&#039;d love to see us go back to gold and silver.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
