Clad KENNEDY Halves

Lots of people hoarded Kennedy halves for a long time. You rarely see any in circulation. Yet there doesn't seem to be a market for this coin. Not many buying or selling. My recently widowed neighbor was appalled to find out that her husband's hugh collection of Kennedy halves were just face value. At least there's a market for the Statehood Quarters!

There is a very active and aggressive market for high-grade clad Kennedys.

You'll also get face value for the vast majority of state quarters.

We'll use our hands and hearts and if we must we'll use our heads.
None are rare but anyone who's ever tried to get one of these like the '91-D knows why there's a premium.
Even the lowly '71 that was long considered dirt common goes for more than double face wholesale. The
'86-P leads the pack in the regular issues and wholesales around $100 per roll which is higher than the
mint set only '87 and '87-D.
Really there are very few without a substantial premium in MS-60. The bicentennials list at a premium but
it can be hard to find buyers for these.
Gem coins in many dates are rare and sell for thousands of dollars. There are also some rare varieties.
You again make me happy for the roll of 91-D Kennedies I put away in 1992. Of course I went through over 400 new, bright shiny ones looking for silver Kennedies and wish now I hadn't spent them.
I often set aside very nice examples of any kind of coin. I figure in about twenty years when I need money on retirement there will be coin collectors who want nice coins that may not be rare but are not too expensive either.
Forget silver.... $1 for a 1971 JFK sounds much easier!
