<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jester3681, post: 1822243, member: 53130&quot;]It&#039;s kind of a unique situation with them.&nbsp; If you look at coins of the past, there was a mintage of however many, few were saved, many were used for circulation, and some were lost to extreme wear, melt for precious metal, use in jewelry, etc.&nbsp; As our commerce needs have changed, the half dollar has become a non-circulated denomination, much like the two dollar bill - still minted or printed, but not used in active commerce.&nbsp; That said, if you mint, say, 8 million 2013 half dollars, and they don&#039;t see regular circulation, in 50 years, you will still have nearly 8 million 2013 half dollars, and many of them will still be at a minimum AU if not MS grade.&nbsp; I can&#039;t see them ever demanding much of a premium over face value unless the Mint would recall them for alloy use or the base metal value would skyrocket in relationship to the face value of the coin (like silver and gold have done in the past).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
