It’s funny how none of the post have been about the half dollar release for 2022 on May 5th. At the time of the release the US Mint was offering free shipping in honor of those celebrating a graduation. The sales of the half dollars ended rather abruptly for both options. Yet, as soon as the free shipping ended, the half dollars were again available. The two roll set soon sold out, but here it is June 9th and the 200 bag option is still available. I suppose the US Mint realized how much money it was losing shipping the half dollars for free!!! It certainly started a feeding frenzy for 2022 Kennedy half dollars on E-Bay after the cut off opening sales!!!

In reply to Antonio. And there is always the very real Fender Tele-Sonic a rare offspring from a Disney remake that's rather rare and part of my ever growing collection of things

In reply to Antonio. I'm a huge believer in that philosophy Antonio, I wait for the price I want to come to me and if it doesn't it wasn't meant to be- and I wrote that not Jim Morrison

In reply to SENZA. Sometimes you can get a good price from them versus the mint's price. I've learned to wait and see. That said, the proof and burnished ASEs always gain in value compared to what they were sold for by the mint. That and the gold are the only cases (I'm not including platinum and palladium because mostly wealthy people, not collectors, buy them).

This is how the dealers and graders (Money Mafia) screw up everything – why didn’t these experts know you can’t buy a fresh release and flip it for a profit????? They are experts at least according to themselves – very sad state of events
