They put a girl on the boy scout coin cause girls have been part of the Exploring program since the 70s and the Venturing program since the late 90s.

No, they put a girl on it because we have become a society or politically correct mamby pamby wussies that cave into every special interest group with loud mouthed members of some minority or another screaming and whining about fairness and all that crud. Just my opinion. As for the actual subject of the thread. I LOVE the Kennedy halves. I do not want to see them stopped. I think a similar approach as was taken with LMCs would be a good idea. 4 reverses chronicling JFKs life. I know that was mentioned in another thread. PT109, Cuban Blockade, JFK at the wall, that kind of thing. Then a new reverse and lets go another 50. |

smokeriderdon... are you William Shatner/Denny Crane in disguise? I just had a quick flashback to Boston Legal when you said "mamby pamby".  And I agree with you - something special like that for #50 would be great for the Kennedy halves series and collectors. |

Just my opinion. Agreed. Even if boys had a role in girl scouts you would never see a boy on the girl scout design |

I don't understand the US Mint system... Girl Scouts 100 years is 1912-2012, so why is their Girl Scouts Centennial Commemorative Coin coming in 2013? The Boy Scouts 100 years was 1910-2010 and coin was 'On-Time' issued in 2010, but it had the Girl on it  Edited by Penny4Me

Penny in fairness to them I believe its up to congress to dictate what and when they can put them out if they want them to be a coin and not a medal. That said thats about the only thing I dont blame the mint for with all their debacles lately

After thinking a bit if they arent going to redo it at all like they did the lincon cents in 09, they should do a 4 coin set one from each mint. Or for fun Ill throw out the idea of a rip off of the 5 coin ASE set and have all 4 mint coins with an RP throw in there |

PT109, Cuban Blockade, JFK at the wall, that kind of thing. The four themes could be: 1) P.T. 109, 2) Bay of Pigs, 3) Cuban Missle Crisis and 4) Marilyn Monroe Personally, I would like to see the Denver mint go back to the originial design and make some 90 percent silver half dollars with the mint mark on the reverse like they did in 1964 plus do it in as high releif as they did in 1964. The "S" and "W" mint marks sound good too  |
