<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jack92029, post: 1914373, member: 68693&quot;]I was browsing the US Mint web pages, where they have several pages about the history of the Kennedy half dollar. Very interesting. There is a link to &quot;Buy It Now&quot;, so I took a look.</p><p>The Mint is offering two rolls of Kennedy (20 each) half dollars for $32.95. That&#039;s $20 of circulating coins for a really big premium.</p><p>My dumb question, is can&#039;t I or anyone go to your local bank and buy the same two rolls for face value $20? If the local bank doesn&#039;t have rolls of Kennedy halfs can&#039;t they get them for you?</p><p>Why is the Mint offering circulating currency at such a high premium, and why are folks buying them at these prices, plus shipping? </p><p>I suppose if you bought enough rolls of circulating currency, the Mint would send you one of their nifty bags, so that everyone could see that you have a valuable coin collection at home.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
