Hey look! My first 2017 buy from the Mint happens tomorrow! :p

Kennedy halves go on sale tomorrow, 2/22, P&D rolls sets ($32.95) and 200-coin bags (100 P-Mint, 100 D-Mint, $139.95).

2017 half dollar 2-roll set (17KB)

2017 half dollar 200-coin-bag (17KA)

They've been almost NCLT for years now, and I pick up a roll set every year, Lowest minted circulating coin in the US for over a decade now (excluding 2013), even lower than the NA brassbuck of recent years.

Kennedy half 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016
Denver 1.70 M 1.70 M 4.60 M 2.10 M 2.30 M 2.10 M
Philadelphia 1.75 M 1.80 M 5.00 M 2.50 M 2.30 M 2.10 M

As an aside, I'm really disappointed the mint isn't going to do a .999 silver set this year.

    They are going to do a silver set, but they're still using 90% blanks.

    They've been authorized to do a .999 now for a couple of years. I was hoping they'd go world standard and produce a .999 set, especially for the Mint's anniversary.

    At least it would have produced some sort of buzz for the mint this year. :smile:

    I agree... a .999 set would be cool.... I would go for that. Cheers, RickO
