Kennedy halves are no longer "circulating" coinage and fall under NCLT now. So in that regard, they are closer to other NCLT like ASEs and commemoratives. However, like commemoratives, they are not bullion coins as such, so a purity marking is probably not called for. I do see the point, though, considering the change from .900 to .999. Like jbuck, I do think the change is here to stay, and I'm for it.

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 06/08/2019 09:31 am The 999 fine is almost certainly here to stay. On reason they switched to it was because the 900 fine wasn't a common standard it actually cost the mint more to have the 900 fine planchets made than just making them 999 fine (more fabrication and the cost of the alloy.)

muddler Pillar of the Community United States 7191 Posts	Posted 06/09/2019 03:03 am So what are the chances that commemorative silver dollars will change to 99% from the current 90%? Report this Post to the Staff
