<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gboulton, post: 1014574, member: 27043&quot;]texmech,</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m inclined to agree with krispy...this thread seems to me it would have been more helpful.&nbsp; There&#039;s been details about mintages, explanations of NIFC years, discussion of the key coins in the Kennedy half dollar set, talk about grading, and discussion of their circulation.&nbsp; All of these things make up the nature of collecting a particular type of coin..or not.</p><p><br /></p><p>And heck..if none of that does anything for ya, why not just...oh..I dunno...<b>collect what you like</b>! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>If you&#039;re looking for a specific answer, all any of us can offer is an opinion.&nbsp; personally, I don&#039;t hold them, beyond what I&#039;ve described above.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think there&#039;s any reason to expect them to become more desirable or harder to find than they already are.&nbsp; Beyond waiting a century or more (at which point it won&#039;t matter to us anyway *heh*) there just doesn&#039;t seem to be anything pressuring their value to climb.</p><p><br /></p><p>Having said that, I must again agree with krispy...the roll searching is a HECK of a lot of fun.&nbsp; I&#039;ve had everything from 3 solid ROLLS of silver (including franklins and walkers) all the way down to an entire box that was a dead blank.</p><p><br /></p><p>Having said that, however, I&#039;ll repeat what i said before...this thread HAS identified those Kennedy halves that have SOME premium (either for bullion or rarity) and &quot;desirable&quot; coins seem to crop up more often in Kennedy rolls than any other coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>So hey...I&#039;d say to keep a roll or two of real high end coins just for grins, maybe hang on to a roll of the Bicens if you think maybe some kids might like em down the road, and if you like the Kennedy half, then start a set, and go roll searching! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Beyond that?&nbsp; meh.&nbsp; Spend em. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; It&#039;s always fun to hear the comments from some of the more clueless in the retail world. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
