Just a heads up. Nothing exciting here. 
The almost NCLT 2018 Kennedy Half-Dollar goes on sale today at Noon, in two roll sets ($32.95) and 200 coin bags ($139.95).

Mintage of the half is generally under 5 million coins/year, less than the NA Dollar coins. I pick up a two roll set every year.
The 200 coins bags are fun to play with, but the two roll sets have higher quality coins...

I pick up a few rolls each year, mostly to spend. Hardly anyone is aware that they are still being made.
I think it's only a matter of time before some politician colonizes the reverse for his/her pet cause.

Famous assassinated American politicians/leaders?
At least that might be a relatively shorter series, as opposed to the 50-plus monstrosities the Mint has subjected us to on the quarters...........
Actually, I think this is a far better idea than the continued use of the quarters. Maybe the half dollars would get some love. Either they should do that or just stop making the coin.
All comments reflect the opinion of the author, even when irrefutably accurate.
I used to get the set every year, just got bored with most mint products. That's how money is made if these things ever wake up.
One P & one D ought to update mine.
I used to maintain this series, but stopped about eight years ago....Not sure why, just lost focus and had a lot of other things working....Still a great series, I might pick it up again, plenty available....Cheers, RickO
Could the Mint turn the reverse of the Kennedy into a commercial place - a Billboard? Ford, GM, Tesla , McDonalds, Smashburger, JC Penny, Boeing, they all might want their own space on the rear.
There is a built-in fan base already. Shareholders want their Companies to succeed and promote the brand like paid Salesmen. Sell a Bitcoin Half by the bag and some fools might stand on a Street Corner handing em out to everybody.
Money, money, money. "Collectors" are getting a bit weary of carrying the load. Time to pass it off to the Corporations.
Long run.
