Kennedy Half Profile size

rickrman

Greetings clever board members. I was dreaming of a type set and see that the Kennedy half profile is larger on my 1976 than on the 2000. Can anyone tell me when the change ocurred? Personally, I like the larger profile better. Thanks for the help!

There was a die change from 70 to 71, obviously 76 required one, I believe in the 84/85 time frame there may have been a third one, and maybe one other one in the late 90's. I'm just going by memory of what I recall from my Kennedy's visually, perhaps one of the Kennedy collectors has seen something more concrete.

The most radical obverse die change occured with the 1991 coins. That's when they switched to the sunken cheek, stylized hair, beedie eyed, fruitie looking portrait.

BTW, I like the original better.
