My grandmother had died the day before....and there was more upset over Kennedy within the family and friends more so than grand moms passing.</p><p>So I say yes as for the most part Kennedy was well liked....for the most part.</p><p>And had he not been shot the Franklin half would of most probably continued until Congress had made a change.</p><p>Another factor durring this time was the goverment sort of frowned on coin collecting . 65,66,67&nbsp; clad coinage ,and the dispearing of silver form our money.</p><p>Mint marks didn&#039;t return until 1968.</p><p>So I do believe the Franklin half would of continued....a few more years.</p><p>Congress may or may not of decieded to replace it....</p><p>I find it odd that the cent, nickel for the most part,dime,quarter has not changed way before now.....I personally would love to see a change.....but must admit that scares me...as the U.S. mint products these days into a joke!</p><p>To ask for new coinage designs could be a huge mistake.....as we know what we have now....and have seen their handy work on new designs.....May or&nbsp; could lead to a major disappointment .[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
