Hi guys, found this Silver 2010s pf. Kennedy half not too long ago while CRHunting. I'm torn between two decisions. One, it's beautiful, Silver and has a low mintage. 585,401 and two, it's kinda beat up. The obverse and the reverse. Silver content is 90%, at about $9. So, what do you guys think and/or suggest?
Should I dump it for the cash or should I keep it for a CRH conversation piece? Thanks guys

    Proof silver sounds like a CRH trophy to me.

    Dump it

    I would dump it but if you have to ask, I would say you're leaning towards keeping it.

    If you have a stack of 90% I would just add it to that, otherwise maybe dump it and buy your next few coffees with the proceeds.

    :D
    You're right about the coffee choice. I can receive 3 full 20 oz.. cups of My favorite coffee for the silver value! That's 3 days of FREE Coffee. Lol
    Boy 'o boy, I'm torn. The coin is very cool though. Despite its many hits and scuffs. :*
    The darn coin is almost 4 times more scarce than any "W" quarter.

    I’d keep it. Very cool coin and story. Absolutely no doubt what I would do with ir. I would add it to my 90% silver perma stack. :)

    Just checked the PCGS Price Guide. In a 62, it has a $14 value. It might be close to that? 62 or 61? Not desperate for the cash but wouldn't mind throwing in my junk silver jar. At the same time, like Coinhoarder mentioned. It is a cool story to share. I love the mintage too. Whatever the vote results are tomorrow at noon. I will DO! Lol. Thanks guys :)

    If you sell it you'll only get melt value for it so you might as well just keep it.

    Put it in the junk silver pile and cash it in. Use that as part of the money to buy something you really want.

    Dump it

    Add it to the 90% pile. When the pile gets large enough or the price of silver is high enough (preferably both) then cash in for something nice.

    Your dilemma has crossed my path several times over the years. I would hold it for now (until silver prices go back up). Add it to your pile of silver. I'm not exactly sure what you collect or what your priorities are besides your CRH activities.

    I've been holding these, plus other 90 & 40%'ers for the past 6 months to a year. I eventually dump them in bulk and buy key dates to complete sets or to up-grade.

    I wouldn’t have a use for it as a collector’s item, but holding some precious metals it not a bad idea these days.

    Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

    It cost you $.50 right? Keep it and I'll send you a 71 kennedy half free of charge including envelope to make $0 as your cost. The story is well worth $.50. Congratulations.
