<p>[QUOTE="chascat, post: 3577539, member: 76792"]In truth, the First Kennedy proof strikes were indeed of the accented hair design...Mrs. Kennedy wanted her husbands legacy to be placed on the Half Dollar coin because the Franklin Half was the only US coin minted without the bust of a former President. Mrs. Kennedy approved the design of the Kennedy Half prior to the creation of the first proof dies. The first strikes were the Accented Hair Variety and were rushed into production, however, When She was presented with the coin for her approval, she wished that some changes would be made on the hairline details, which the Mint promptly did, but there were still close to 100,000 accented hair coins which were shipped in proof sets.
