Kennedy Half Dollars

Another thread folks and hoping that you can share your Kennedy Half dollars. I wanted to let other collectors that I'm not fixated with just quarters and that I have some other denomination.

Hope you can share yours for us to appreciate.

Thank you and Happy Collecting

Here is my set of P & D MS-60. A gift for my birthday

 

These are from the U.S. Mint and will buy more next week.

 

Inventory so far. They are all Uncirculated and most are from the U.S. Mint. I excluded one 1964 circulated in VF condition and I won that coin from a Black Jack card game.

 

Surprisingly, my Kennedy half book was one of my more difficult accomplishments. I believe it was an inspired design given the tragedy that preceded its issuance and is among the more striking designs ever released by the US mint. I love me a Kennedy half.

 

Like Pokémon, I hadta catch 'em all, and I did. It's all just maintenance now.

Ditto for Franklin halves and Walkers back to 1939. All Mint State.

 

I have two complete sets in Dansco albums #7166 [no proofs].
The problem is the album ends with 2017. I have not bought the 2018 P & D.
I have no place to put them.
Is Dansco going to come out with a new page or do I just get a blank page?

 

Keep a blank page handy for just such an emergency. Mine have come in handy several times.

 

Dont know. But you sure can improvise

 

Offhand, I can't think of any U.S. denomination I DON'T have a plain Dansco page for, standing by just in case. Op, one. No 27mm. (SBA/Sac/Prez/Native)

 

I don't use any album and to prevent toning of my coins, I vacuum seals them all and put them away for a very long time.

 

Yes. I spoke to a rep and it is supposed to come out sometime at the end of this summer. I have it on my "want list" and they will notify me when available.

 

How are you guys getting BU halves from 1971-2001? The Copper Clads seem to be the most difficult to collect. I have had that experience with my Ike collection.

 

Almost universally cut from hand-selected, by me, Mint Sets. Exception? 1982 and 1983.

 

And they are sure commanding a premium on them too. I can live without it. Just moving forward with what I can get from the U.S. Mint.

 

I got a couple of JFK halfs.

 

Good looking coin. Thank you.

 

Hmmm..gonna have to order some more..

 

I got a 2015 Kennedy doing some coin roll hunting this week.

 

Almost all of my coins are uncirculated from the US Mint except one coin that I won at a black jack table and it is in VF condition.
