[QUOTE="Brett_in_Sacto, post: 2530326, member: 71510"]I was on the receiving end of this kind of thing. And believe me, I'm grateful! I think Kennedy 50c pieces have come into abundance since there were so many released into circulation during the gold/silver boom a few years back - simply for bullion. I got really lucky and picked up an entire set of Kennedy 50c pieces for opening minimum bid at auction last month. An entire set of 160 coins - HUGE beautiful collection - every mint/date/proof from 1964-2012 in a Dansco album. I haven't really graded everything in detail yet - but the majority of them are MS65 and up, and NOTHING below an MS63 in the entire set. It is obvious that the previous collector had a fetish for the Kennedy 50c, and everyone thought - junk silver and clad coins. The set is easily worth double what I paid, much more if broken up and graded. Possibly much more. I'm going to start digging into varieties soon and see what pops up.[/QUOTE]
