Is there any chance of us ending the Kennedy half in 2015?

I think fifty years is enough, for crying out loud. It's such a large format canvas for some good designs.

    I'm hoping that they end the Kennedy half dollar in 2013 after a fifty year run or 2014 after the 50th anniversary of the series.image

    I'm sure it will end right after partisan politics ends

    In other words, you are saying that there is no light at the end of the tunnel? image

    I really like the old classic designs, even the Kennedy. I guess you can stick Kennedy in that category. I don't care for most the modern designs these days.
    They just have that modern look. (CRAP!)

    i just wish they'd recut dies back to original as designed...they were works of art
    now they're flat chucky cheese tokens

    There are certain dates with the Kennedy series that just look bad- it needs to either go back to the 64 obverse- and maybe changing the reverse would be reasonable

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    Too bad they don't make coins with good designs anymore. image

    I kinda like the Kennedy.
    Let's try not to get upset.

    US?

    I don't think that the forums has that much clout!

    Besides, Kennedy Halfs are a cash cow for the US Mint. Do you realize that its been 11 years since they've sold any to the Federal Reserve for face value which in itself is a huge profit but instead, they've sold them only to collectors for even more profit?
