Kudos my friend! A nice inexpensive set to assemble with only P and D mints. I see you have the 70D mint set only coin. 1987 is also a mint set only issue. I started my set with P and D mints but I hate to have empty holes in my collection so I opted for the clad proofs and silver proofs as well. Still quite affordable until you get to 2010 and up. Then the silver and even the clad proofs skyrocket in cost. I hated to do it but I reluctantly completed the silver and clad proofs up to 2024. Still obsessed with empty holes in this series, I am currently working on the Specimen issues (SP). I still need the king of the Kennedy's, the 1998S Matte Silver. It just wont be complete without this key coin for me. Happy hunting my friend and enjoy the quest!

Enjoy! If you take it to the present, most of the 21st century releases are NIFC. And, if you find any halves in the wild, watch out for the heavily "tossed" casino coins.

I'm doing the Dansco 8166/8167 combo and added a page to 8167 for the collector versions and any type 2 proofs (I'm not at home but I think only the 1981 doesn't have a spot). I think I only need the elusive 1998 mate finish for those.
I picked up 33 silver proofs at FUN (for 24x FV and was able to finish off 8166 and a bunch in 8167.
Side story. I was telling my LCS guy how some guy bought all of the silver proof dimes and quarters right before my turn. He tells me his friend was at FUN and was coming over. The guy walks in and it was guy who bought all of the dimes and quarters. I'm kicking myself for not offering to buy them from him at a little profit. Oh well. Maybe I'll ask the LCS guy to pass on my offer.

I agree the Kennedy albums are a fun project. Some banks will special order a full box for you if you have $500 to play with. It is a great way to keep up with dates, and find an occasional silver, or even a proof, which I have done. Beware though, you may need a wheelcart to tote that box to your car!  |

Enjoy building the collection. As someone born while John Fitzgerald Kennedy was President of the United States, I have always had an affinity for this series. I am presently working on NGC graded clad proof issues with thirteen more of them to go. Between individual examples, uncirculated coin sets, proof coin sets, silver proof coin sets and graded examples, I have them all. It is an enjoyable and attainable set to acquire.

Kennedy half dollars are one of my favorite sets, going back to my early YN collecting days. I'm also working on the same P&D album, using Mint Sets to fill the holes. As is documented elsewhere on CCF, it's actually not easy to find nice, problem-free, uncirculated clad coins from the 70s, 80s, and even 90s. Then because of the satin finish Mint Sets of 2005-2010, I have to buy all the standard business strikes from those years individually. I also avoid the SMS coins of 1965-1967, so standard business strikes in gem BU are hard to find from those years. Best of luck and enjoy the hunt! Keep us updated on your progress.
