As this stockpile dwindles down, new halves are again released for regular circulation. Until normal circulation of these languishing halves are released for circulation, I do not see them gaining value in the near future. Perhaps if the Mint recalls and destroys the stock pile of Kennedy’s, then you will see the existing coins go through the roof. Happy Collecting[/QUOTE]
