Original Mint Sealed Boxed Coins - Need a Little Help Please

TheRock

Can someone please confirm for me the following are the first years of the series of coins that were produced and sold in Original Mint Sealed Boxes?

2001 - Kennedy 50C Rolls P&D (No 1999 or 2000)

2000 - Sac $1 Rolls P&D

Thanks.

I believe, if not mistaken, the 2001 rolls of Kennedy's,
were offered after the 2002 Kennedy rolls were sold...

The 2000 Sac Rolls were the first of that series...

2001 Kennedies I think are still available from the mint, or they were up until a little while ago. I guess a TON were minted.

I was just reviewing my figures and the US Mint produced 40,704,000 2001 Kennedy's.
Of that total 21,200,000 were P's and 19,504,000 were D's.
A small amount of the D's were released through the Federal Reserve Banks so these can be found in rolls from your local banks.

This was the first year that the 2 roll boxed sets could be purchased from the US Mint for the Kennedy half dollar. At the end of 2001 the offering was dropped. Sometime during 2005 or early 2006, the mint got Congressional permission to re-release these 2 roll boxed sets and I suppose they will be a fixture on the Kennedy Bags and Rolls page until either the coins sell out or the Kennedy gets dropped from production.

19Lyds, the 2001 half dollars were not available in 2001 from the Mint. There were a few Ds released through normal channels but no Ps were released. During 2001-2003 time frame, the P-mint half dollars were retailing for $10 to $12 each and being cut from 2001 mint sets as that was the only place to find them. The Mint did not begin selling the 2001 rolls/bags until 2004.
