Lobby Pillar of the Community United States 548 Posts	Posted 05/15/2012 11:45 pm I don't collect Kennedy's, so perhaps that's why I'd never noticed the design difference in the 1999. JFK sure looks different in the obverse compared to the others... Report this Post to the Staff
nolawyer Pillar of the Community United States 763 Posts	Posted 05/15/2012 11:58 pm I just looked at my Kennedy collection and it looks like the extra hair detail was added in 1991. I haven't included this modification as a separate type. The 1999-D in my collection is filling the 1971-Present Clad Kennedy spot. Report this Post to the Staff

nolawyer Pillar of the Community United States 763 Posts	Posted 05/16/2012 1:51 pm I do plan on adding older halves to the set. There are a few more upgrades that I would like to make with my 20th Century Type set before I start concentrating on the 19th Century Types. The 20th Century coins will all be MS coins, but I am sure I will have to start mixing in some circulated coins for the older types to make the set feasible. I've just about got my dollars (Morgans through present) all photographed so I will be able to post those soon. Report this Post to the Staff

The Draped Bust Half will be a challenge for sure unless you have several grand laying around to get a nice problem free example. The Bust and Seated halves are going to be expensive in higher grades but a nice common date low AU would most likely be cheaper than your barber. Really nice set Edited by Joe2007 05/16/2012 5:30 pm Report this Post to the Staff

I probably will have to stop at 1800 when it comes to the Half Dollars - definitely no 1796 or 1797 halves will be in my set. I am aiming for high AU coins for the Capped Bust and Seated halves. I'm hoping to have 5 types of Seated and 2 types of Capped Bust halves so it will be a while before I have to address the Draped Bust Half. Report this Post to the Staff
