The coins were released on March 24 (of note - 5 days *after* the date on the tag on this bag). It was a coordinated, publicized, nationwide release. People lined up around the block just to get one. </p><p><br /></p><p>In order to coordinate that release, millions upon millions were struck in advance and shipped to banks nationwide. The coins in this bag are not special in any way, other than the bag has remained unopened until this point. </p><p><br /></p><p>For more on the release of the Kennedy, read the (surprisingly good) Wikipedia article here: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kennedy_half_dollar" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kennedy_half_dollar" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kennedy_half_dollar</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
