The Kennedy coin was very important for the time considering in 1965 it had been less than 2 years since JFK was assassinated. Moving 90% to 40% was certainly within the threshold of being below face value for a 50c piece. Original copper/nickel clad coinage from 1965 had issues with QC, and I believe Congress wanted the Kennedy half series to be of importance in the QC department. Also, by moving to 40%, it would ensure that the coins would actually still circulate as intended and not be picked off by our grandfathers for hoarding/flipping. </p><p><br /></p><p>In the end, I feel that because JFK was loved and missed and it was so close to him being murdered, the coin was still made in silver in his honor. </p><p><br /></p><p>Im probably wrong, but its the Internet man and plus I&#039;ve had a couple Adult drinks <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
