There is one obvious type that you missed. The Bicentennial half come both as coppernickel clad and 40% silver. There should be one of each. I also question some of the other choices in the Kennedy halves. You list the modified portraits for the capped bust halves, but not the modified busts in the Kennedy series. Then why the matte proof? If it is because of the different finish then proofs and business strikes of each of the types where they exist would be needed as well. Same comment for the 65 SMS and 1970 D, both the same type just different finishes. |

Great looking type set run of halves  As many have said there are several other types and varieties that can be added to the set if you choose. I like that you added the 98 matte. That coin and the modern 90% silver proof kennedys are the key coins to the kennedy series. That coin should only increase in value. Half dollars are my favorite coin to collect. I currently have All walking liberty business strike coins (missing 1921 p) all Franklin business strikes (90% in BU) All kennedy coins and proofs (bu) Im working on the barber set right now, and have around 15 seated libertys, and 8 or 9 capped bust. I am going to do something similar to you for the seated series back to the flowing hair. Trying to get all the Seated coins back will be out of my budget. Good luck adding more coins to your set, as I'm sure you will |
