Message:: [QUOTE="V. Kurt Bellman, post: 1983571, member: 71723"]Here is why for this particular denomination, in this particular year only (unless the Mint goes totally nuts), I am going to be slabbing all 10 (no, I do not mean 11) varieties of 2014 Kennedy halves. The gold one holds no appeal for me at all. I don't, and won't own one unless gold bullion slides down to a $800ish level some day while I still breathe. Then I might, and I might still not look to get one. They WILL be out there and common as heck. The 10 silverish colored 2014 Kennedy's are well known to us (duh, right?), but will my son still remember the details of the 10 when he's my age? Yeah, he might not give a rip. True. But he likes coins generally and he might. The coins I leave to him will all be tangible reminders of me to him. That is part of my selfish motive in my coin endeavors - to leave my kid a tangible legacy and in a sense add to my metaphorical extended lifetime. I wish my dad had thought to leave me something that I could pass on to my kid that said something about his life and what he cared about.edited: read rules [Ew. Seriously? That is so gross.] Anyway, I hope to all git out that a 10 coin annual update set, when compared to the hopefully still normal 4 (or better yet 3), will be interesting enough to him that having a nicely matched slabbed set of all 10 will reach the "hey, cool" spot in his noggin.[/QUOTE]
