If you think you've seen it all in the coin collecting world - think again.
Our Satin Finish Kennedy Half Dollars offer a historic new way
to collect these prized, uncirculated treasures. One hard case roll holds
20 of these special coins - 10 from Philadelphia and 10 from Denver.
The Franklin silver half dollar was replaced by the John F. Kennedy coin in
1964, shortly after the President's assassination. His portrait is the same one
as used by the United States Mint honoring Kennedy's inauguration, and it was
personally approved by widow Jacqueline. The coin's first year was the only one
in which it was minted of 90% silver due to rising costs of the metal. For the
next five years, silver content was reduced to 40%. And then in 1970 it was
completely removed - replaced by a copper-nickel composite as are the coins in
this set.
Since the late 1990's no Kennedy Half Dollars have been issued by the United
States government for circulation. They are only available in mint sets created
for collectors. The satin finish is created as the Mint
sandblasts the dies with glass to produce a historic finish. The finish makes
these coins distinguishable from their uncirculated counterparts and increases
their long-term collector value. More details on the 2005 Satin Finish
Kennedy Banker's Roll include:
- Measure approx. 1.22" diameter each
- Weigh approx..40 oz. each
