Okay, I figure the U.S. Mint usually has the year's halves out by now, so I wonder if they are waiting until they sell all of the 2012s first. Man, I hope they didn't quit minting halves.
The mint did not stopping making halves this year. The 2013 half has already been sold in the "Birth Year Set" on 1/15. The half will also be in the uncirculated sets, date TBD. On 4/30 a proof version from SF will be in the Happy Birthday Set. On 5/2 it will be in the annual proof set. And lastly it will be offered in bags and rolls on 6/13. Safe to say there will be plenty of halves being minted this year.
I cant wait to find 2013s in circulation! I have found all of the NIFC coins to fill my album from circualtion through 2012.
I wonder if the supply of half dollars increases or decreases with each year's minting. They make so few of them these days that the amount of coins that get kept by collectors, lost, destroyed, or otherwise taken out of the available supply may excede the number released into circulation.
