<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JBK, post: 68065, member: 1101&quot;]Ok, let me say it, more clearly.&nbsp; These coins are a privately produced commem marking the 20th anniversary of JFKs election.&nbsp; (Except my 1960/1985, which was a 25th anniv commem).&nbsp; They used any dates they could get.&nbsp; I have several different dates, all with the 1960/1980 counterstamp.&nbsp; The dates on the coins both preceed and follow the 1980 date, meaning they were making these after the actual 20th, although presumably any half used after 1984 would have the 1960/1985 stamping. </p><p><br /></p><p>These are simple, low tech pieces - no fancy symbolism or extra thinking.&nbsp; They took a special stamp and whacked a barrel full of gold plated halves.&nbsp; Hopefully they made some money off it, but in any case, we are left with the souvenirs.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
