I am thinking he was elected in Nov. 1959, took office in Jan 1960.

Actually, he was elected in 1960 and took office in 1961.  This what the mint should have sent me... Quote:
2013 KENNEDY HALF-DOLLAR

They probably got it mixed up with the year he was assassinated - 1963.

In addition to this error, I spotted another error in the email. The picture shows a 2013-S Kennedy half dollar. My first thought was they were going to sell circulation quality S mint halves this year, like the quarters. But I was wrong. There are only P and D rolls available. They should not display an S coin when this is not what they are selling. |
