I also plan to do some 2014 half dollars – probably 200 – and put them into circulation in Boston around the time of this year’s Marathon as a tribute to the one year anniversary of the bombings. Having failed in my plan to counterstamp (1000) 2013 half dollars, I was looking for ways to leverage the stamp for a few other projects. I added it to about (45) 1918 Lincoln cents.
