<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 668123, member: 68&quot;]This was probably the most widely collected circulating modern </p><p>until 1999 when the states coins took over.&nbsp; The cent may have </p><p>passed it in the last few years as well.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>While there are lots of collectors many are very casual collectors </p><p>rather than what we consider numismatists.&nbsp; They save the coins</p><p>as they run across them and might spend duplicates but they aren&#039;t</p><p>investigating to learn what&#039;s available or seeking to find the coins </p><p>they lack.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Kennedys have also been popular among more advanced collectors </p><p>at least since the late &#039;70&#039;s. Wile&#039;s landmark &quot;The Kennedy Half Dol-</p><p>lar Book&quot; wasn&#039;t released until 1998 but many years of study went </p><p>into it.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>These coins seem to be getting a lot of increased attention recently </p><p>as more people realize what a great and popular set they have be-</p><p>come.&nbsp; All of the regular issue coins are quite affordable in nice at-</p><p>tractive condition and even gems aren&#039;t too pricey.&nbsp; The proofs and </p><p>special issues also are, for the main part, very affordable.&nbsp; There&#039;s e-</p><p>nough challenge to make the set exciting.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The toughest part of the design to find free of marks is the top of</p><p>the shield on the reverse.&nbsp; Also watch for the periphery lettering to</p><p>be fully struck up and the tops rounded in cross section.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
