<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collector1966, post: 1089223, member: 17919&quot;]It&#039;s not really that difficult to figure out, I think. 40% Kennedy halves are American coins and the largest collector base in the world is the United States. They are old enough now that most Americans alive today never saw one in circulation, so that gives them a sort of exotic aspect. Their fineness is known by all US dealers who are worth their salt, and their weight can easily be looked up in the Redbook if the dealer doesn&#039;t know it by heart. Plus, the coins honor a popular President who was cut down in his prime. Also, I have my doubts that many of them actually get melted-- their weight and fineness are already well established, so as long as they remain in the United States, they will be able to trade parallel to the silver market in their present form.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
