[QUOTE="Dima, post: 4493247, member: 18037"]The beautiful 1998 50C used to be considered MS with SMS designation by PCGS; however, somewhat recently, they've changed it SP, still with SMS designation. The Red Book calls the coin a matte proof and lists the mintage and price as such. Either way, this coin is certainly special in the series and is captured in the table; I've split it between Matte Proof and SMS to satisfy both schools of thought. I consider the 2014 gold part of this set for three reasons: 1) it technically has a face value of 50C; 2) it is the same size as the rest of the series; and, 3) it's listed in the Red Book as part of the Kennedy 50C series and not gold bullion or a commemorative. Hypothetically, if the US Mint were to release 5 oz silver Kennedy halves, I would not consider them part of this set. My thinking: when it doubt, refer to the Red Book. It classifies existing 5 oz Washington quarters as silver bullion and not part of the quarter series :) The 50th Anniversary Silver set is exceptionally cool and is captured in the top row -- 90% silver; Unc, Enh Unc, Proof, and Rev Proof. Updated table: [ATTACH=full]1114831[/ATTACH] What other suggestions for additions/revisions to the composite do yall have?[/QUOTE]
