<p>[QUOTE=&quot;clorox, post: 1535005, member: 36209&quot;]People are pulling 40% halves now not because silver has caught up with gold, it&#039;s because silver has gone up, period. And they will never be rare in a numismatic sense. Most primary accounts of the 1980&#039;s silver spike state that Franklin halves were the hardest hit by the refiners, yet they still are one of the easiest silver sets to complete today, even in higher grades. Plus, the 40% halves never circulated like Franklins did: The half dollar was already an unpopular coin to use in commerce, the Kennedy design was incredibly popular as a keepsake, and the silver value of the coin was above face value by 1974 (based on yearly averages) and never went back. The vast majority of the 40% that I find are in XF or better condition.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
