I ordered 6 of the 50th anniversary silver Kennedy half dollars sets and on one of the sets the uncirculated half dollar had a die break on the reverse. The break starts on the right hand side (my right) of the eagles wing and runs down to the bottom of the arrows in the eagles claw. Very noticible with the naked eye. I just want to know if any one else has found this error.

After getting the wonderful walking liberty dollar in Enhanced-Uncirculated, I must say that the new 2014 50th anniversary Kennedy half was a bit of a letdown. Some coins with exquisite details may come out looking great under this E-H process. The Kennedy half had little to work with and other than a nice frosting, it really did not improve the looks of the coin. Maybe the mint will be very selective in future coinage when issuing the E-H finish. Bob Lobenstein

I must say i was shocked waited till noon on site 3 minutes max had my 5 sets and not long e-mail confirmation then shipped same day! And i thought this would be another train wreck the Mint has done a great job and i have been hard on there surveys,sorry.Watching them clean planchets so carefully is nice i dont know how many Franklin halves and Kennedys suffered milk spots from soap residue not being cleaned but thats history!Would love to have that 1st or last coin they mint for my collection! LOL….

I tried to order on the internet 3 different times during the day and each time the website froze during checking out. I then tried to call. It took me 10 calls to place the order. The phone lines was giving me a busy signal everytime I clicled the number 1 key to order. The phone operator was sooo nice and pleasant. She apologized for the website issues and for the busy signal. She had a supervisor authorize free shipping for me. I am not a habitual complainer, I was really surprised about the service I got on the phones.

First day ordering on the new website at 12:00 was a breeze! I was complete within minutes, less than ten minutes!!! Purchased the max, with next day air. 20 COINS FOR $520.00 DOLLARS!!!
That makes them $26.00 Dollars per coin. And all these coins come from DIFFERENT DIES than even the two coin set offered earlier.
This year for the Kennedy Half, on the anniversary of his untimely end, now takes on a celebratory glow, with all of us now remembering Mr Kennedy through beautiful new enhanced halves.
A fitting way to remember someone as beloved….thank you U.S. Mint.

Rhonda Kay,
Does the Mint retire the Obverse and Reverse Coin Die’s at the same time?

Nice photos and videos. Thanks to the Unser brothers for racing to get this info here before the coins go on sale. Bobby and Al would be proud.

Yep, if you call the mint, they’ll tell you all the coins go out at the same time. The presales and grading is another money market for special people.

Isn’t that interesting? Nobody actually gets a true ‘first strike’ coin, since the mint keeps them.
