Longtime reader, new member! I have searched the forums and not found any new conversations in 3+ years about the 2014 P-D-S-W Kennedy silver half Dollars. Why no respect for the coins? Do they have a future? IMHO undervalued....... Many thanks for your thoughts and comments.
I can't tell the future. But if you ask me, then yes. Latest member, Here is a some info: The special 50th Anniversary Kennedy Half-Dollar Uncirculated Coin Set was created by the U.S. Mint to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the minting of the first Kennedy half-dollar in 1964. What makes the coins in this set different than the regular circulation strike 2014 Kennedy half dollars is that the dies used to create these coins were created from the original sculptures crafted by Gilroy Roberts in 1963. edited - copyright
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the series, the United States Mint offered three special products incorporating 2014 Kennedy Half Dollars from a different mint facilities and across a variety of finishes.

Aside from agreeing with @baseball21, you really should be sure to cite your sources when so extensively quoting other websites. Although sure no harm was intended, not doing so may only make more work for the mods. https://www.ngccoin.com/coin-explor...r-high-relief-reverse-pf-50c-pf-coinid-824311 Still, I certainly applaud your enthusiasm.
Which begs the question: if one doesn't bother to read what was posted, how can they so confidently state that they already know everything that was said?
@lovecoinswalkingliberty - Please do not post entire third party articles here. A short "teaser", along with the URL, is fine of course. Christian
I want to thank the forum members who shared their views. I am still hopeful to get more responses.......why is the set dead as a door-nail, ..........or not?
Probably because most everyone that wanted one bought it from the mint. If everyone that wants one has it, there is very little aftermarket.
Haha.... interesting! I picked it up from a middle school teacher many years ago. If not for the fact he's now dead, I'd forward it to him just for the rub.
