So where and when will the coins be released?

ANA Show?

Obviously, the gold and silver collectible halves - not the clads!!!

After being too lazy to stand in line for show release Rev Proof Buffs, and Balto HOF coins, it's time to get off my a&& and head to the next release!!!!

My guess is Chicago - August - ANA. It's the USM's new way - a few 1,000 at the show - Day 1 of release.

Time flies when you're having fun; fifty years of the Kennedy half this year and fifty years of clad next year!

Another delayed/controlled release of a US Mint product coming up.


Hoooray for the mass marketers of MS- PF70 First Strike product. Time to rake it in again.

50 years ago the general public was just starting their hoarding of 1964 Kennedy halves. We didn't know it at the time but it was the beginning of the end for circulating half dollars. The half dollar should have been discontinued decades ago.
