<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dcarr, post: 2693304, member: 4781&quot;]A few points of clarification:</p><p><br /></p><p>Frank Gasparro sculpted the reverse of the Kennedy Half, basing almost entirely on the official US Presidential Seal. The obverse of the Kennedy half dollar was designed and sculpted by Gilroy Roberts.</p><p><br /></p><p>Gasparro designed and sculpted the Flowing Hair as part of his activities at the US Mint. Since it was paid for with tax dollars, the design is public domain. So it would not have been necessary for the Gasparro family to &quot;agree&quot; to have some of these minted.</p><p><br /></p><p>In addition to the &quot;Grove Minting Company&quot; issues, there was a prior and perhaps more accurate rendition from Ken Potter. More information about those is shown here: <a href="http://www.smalldollars.com/dollar/page04.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.smalldollars.com/dollar/page04.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.smalldollars.com/dollar/page04.html</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
