We buy them, we don't collect them. We give them away as gifts. The uncirculated mint sets, same thing. Look at the 2014 Kennedy Half Dollar P & D mint sets. The dealers are still selling those, 10 at a time. Look at who they're selling them to. Who buys 10 sets but people giving them away as gifts? Oh, but this 2014 one, it's special. Yeah, yawn. The 50th Anniversary. The iconic JFK. The heraldic eagle holding a bundle of 13 arrows and a symbolic olive branch with a shield on its breast and surrounded by a ring of 50 stars. Get yours while supplies last! The kids find these NIFCs ("Not Intended For Circulation") Ps and Ds searching boxes of halves. Even the proofs, even the silver proofs. They're being received as gifts then spent at the 7-11 for candy or a pack of cigarettes. Either that, or they're being kept in the packages, do you believe that? They're getting them as gifts, and they're afraid to open the packages! Or, when they do, they're spending them. Lol. Personally? Not for me. We'll catch these later in the boxes and bags of halves I get for the kids from the banks, we're eating a potato. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
