2001 Kennedy halves??? Buying these??

Is anyone getting these coins? If you got them how do they look, are they grading well.?

I think I'm gonna pull the trigger on this 1 and pick up 3 bags? Opinions? Do these go into 08 or do we have to purchase by 12-31?

    Nope & don't intend to. I'm just wondering for how many more years the Mint will have them available...

    I don't get it. What is so special about them?

    Nothing, it's just another way for the Mint to make money. You can pick them up in great quantities if you go through a few half-dollar boxes.

    Nothing, the Mint's trying to find the suckers who are born every minute.

    I bought a bag 4 years ago. Wish I didn't. I still have a few rolls to sell (each, of the P&D).
    They looked fine, overall, but I don't submit much, and won't submit these, so I would say a few MS64, some MS65, probably a lot of MS66 (or slider MS65), and "maybe" a MS67 here or there but nothing worth the gamble for me.

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    If you cannot stand the thrill of watching paint dry, this may be a good, quiet endeavour to sooth your nerves. image Cheers, RickO

    Better hurry on these.

    If they don't sell out by 2021 I'm sure the Mint will turn them over to the GSA. No telling when they might reappear and at what price. image
