[QUOTE="RaceBannon, post: 1013345, member: 25357"]Hang on to 'em, they're novelties! I actually just started my Dansco 8166 the Kennedy Half plus proofs. A lot of beautiful coins, especially the proofs. I hadn't seen any in circulation, so I went around to a few banks to inquire as to whether they had any rolls. Most of the tellers just looked at me like I had a third eye. But on my fifth bank I hit the jackpot, one teller had four rolls, she was only too happy to get rid of them. Since I'm assembling the collection in MS/BU, I searched the rolls, found a couple that appeared to be mint state, and have had a ball putting the others back into circulation. Today my wife tried to pay for something at the pharmacy, when presented with the Kennedy Half, the pharmacist asked "Is this legal tender?" To which my wife responded: "Yes it is." The pharmacist: "I'm going to have to ask my manager if we can accept this." After some back an forth, they relented and reluctantly accepted this legal US tender coin. I wish I could have been there![/QUOTE]
