[QUOTE="Coinman1981, post: 697396, member: 20610"]I've seen plenty of halves from my roll searches....The latest-date Kennedy half dollars I have seen with any considerable wear come from the early 1980s. I remember when I was young I actually had saved up some half dollars that I later spent; I don't know where I got them from, though....I bought a couple Lego builder sets with those and a ton of quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies -- and I wasn't a collector back then (mid-late 80s). I posit that the circulation of half dollars has probably phased itself out due to millions of people keeping these coins because of shear novelty -- both for the coin itself and its depiction of JFK.[/QUOTE]
