Or maybe they can have a special day of trans to coincide with the 250th release. Wouldn’t that be special! I have yet to purchase any product from the mint this year and I’m waiting to see what obscene price they peg to the AGE’s this year. It seems to me that maybe they don’t want us buying precious metal products. But with Au approaching $2300/oz., I’m certainly happy with my gold coin collection.

Thanks for sharing that. Your dedication to the Kennedy Half series is obvious and inspiring, not to mention your recognition for the great man that he truly was. I’m a newbie fan of the series thanks to you. I thoroughly love those coins you introduced to me(all of us @MNB). I have a few great Kennedy coins, and a few more to go, but I’ll never have the collection that you have..The Albums alone sound amazing. If I ever bump into you, please show them to me. For now though, whatever photos you share here and there are a treat…
(why stop after 2025?)

While I was too young to know any better at the time, I’ve since learned a lot(some) about JFK(and family). His drive & ambition towards the Apollo Program that led to the Moon Landings are still an unmatched Space feat IMO(for now however-Artemis 3 Moon Landing is next). His heroic handling of the Cuban Missile Crisis, and the ability to bring a Nation together(enter “Ask Not” quote)..You can put him into only a handful of Presidents that brought a nation together–Not now–Things have gotten way out of control no matter where you stand politically…
Back to JFK. It is very, very hard to watch the Zapruder film. I don’t care to see it anymore. It wasn’t a horror movie, it was real, and sickenning..
Seeing Jackie, in her blood covered dress on the plane, next to Johnson was also sickening in more ways than one…

Ps: My(unmatched) 2014 Clad P&D SP-69’s are almost done @ PCGS(Restore/Re-Holder/Re-Grade)..Refresher(clear slabs)results later!

Later…

Chris, I’d never thought of it that way, I guess lame, could be the “Glass Half Full”, if you will? Love your Silver lining as every dark cloud has one! LOL

Lame may actually be good CaliSkier. The alternative may be a PC / woke coin somehow celebrating the 250th anniversary.

Rick,

I will do my best to score a presale PCGS 2024 Proof Silver Kennedy in PR-70 DCAM FDI or FS. Then I will be looking for the 2024 P&D uncirculated Kennedy’s for my Dansco P&D Uncirculated Set. Those two coins will most likely come from a 2024 Mint Set and not mint rolls. I do not collect the clad proofs. 2025 will most likely be the last year for the Type 1 Kennedy Series and will be the last year that I collect the Kennedy halves. It will be a 61-year run for the Type 1 Kennedy Half Dollar. I’ve been collecting these ever since I was a kid in the Boy Scouts and I still remember November 22, 1963. It will be amazing to see this coin run from start to finish. I hope I make it to 2025.

Also, a long long time ago, late one summers eve, on July 16th 1969, via B&W TV, I watched Niel Armstrong set foot on the moon for the very first time and heard his historic words ….”This is one small step for man and one giant leap for mankind.” Priceless and unforgettable.

Cheers

I guess Flowing Hair this year and so thankful I nabbed the Brittiania!

Maybe the Space Force will release when we the presidency flips.

Not sure if you are making a statement, general comment or correction Rick. So I’ll be “super” clear on my use of “the” vs “that”. The $1 CCQ coin(1993) used or depicted the space shuttle “Discovery”. My description is of the “Challenger” disaster(launch) in January of 1986, and you are correct, “the” Columbia disaster(re-entry) was lost in 2003. One never left(73 seconds), the other failed to return. Tragic and such loss of truly dedicated professionals. I still don’t agree with the entire crew(Challenger) not being honored, other than a “star”, in regards to the Christa McAuliffe Commemorative silver $1’s in 2021. I guess that’s what happens when Special Interests get together with Congress and invent new commemorative programs IMO.

That one is new to me and a great design. Thanks for sharing…
Although as I recall the Columbia Shuttle was lost in 2003?
