I recently found three gold coins while going through many boxes of 500 dollar
Kennedy half dollars. They are all different but one coin has three dates on it.
They cant be reel can they? I also found a Barber 1888 silver half dollar and 6 1964 kennedy’s 1/2 Dollar and 40 1965 to 1969 Kennedy 1/2 Dollars and 4 Ben Franklin 1/2 Dollars. I also found mint errors of Kennedy half’s things like scar face Kennedy ear cut in half Kennedy Kennedy with ear piercing and Kennedy with a huge mole on his chin. I cant believe it either I even found Kennedy’s with a heylow.

I just purchase one of these 24 K gold Kennedy Half Dollars from Nationwide Coin,
the selling price was 2.150.00 ! OK I know that I probably got hosed,but the sales pitch was that the mint only minted 40,000 of these coins. Today I just found out that gold prices fell, regardless, on 40,000 were minted.
Last time I passed on an opportunity to purchase a 2006 gold proof 50$ American Buffalo, that was selling at 800.00$ , that was back in 07, I’m still kicking myself in the butt.

Fantastic !! I’ll never miss an opportunity to take it. I’ve no sense of beauty but I’m sure of my aesthetic choice this time.

Hi: I thought the gold half was to have a thicker planchet
The clad half weight is .365 troy
The gold half weight is .75 troy
But they have the same other dimensions
Thickness 2.15mm
Diameter 30.61
Curious

Clad Gold
Weight in Troy 0.365 0.75

I grew up with J.F.K., Like so many here.Those were the days of Camelot.
This, In my opinion, Will be ( to me anyway ), One of the greatest collectors coins ever made. ( graded or left in it’s original government shipping ) You get a beautiful certificate of authenticity with the piece, So why have it graded? Who cares if it’s a 69 or 70??? Just a persons opinion.. Why pay for the “sticker” on the slab?? I think this baby being left in the O.G.P. should be worth just as much as a graded JFK…, But probably not… It’s the “new school” old timers… lol

In God We Trust. All others will pay cash…

Can’t wait for this one! It will be part of a very successful Gold and Silver series.
