ghostrider Pillar of the Community United States 1116 Posts	Posted 07/23/2014 1:57 pm I've heard talk that there is a recognized Kennedy Collection that is called a "Half Set". Don't believe that I've heard of this before. I know that there is a lot of coins that are needed for a full set, but what makes up a "half set"? Report this Post to the Staff

Hondo Pillar of the Community United States 1211 Posts	Posted 07/23/2014 2:47 pm You mean the kennedy "short set"? 1964-1970? Report this Post to the Staff
tkbslc Pillar of the Community United States 1158 Posts	Posted 07/23/2014 4:58 pm Personally, I'm doing a smaller set by only collecting one per year (date set) instead of the full date and mint set. I know some only do the circulating mint marks (So P,D) for each year, which is what I presume is the half set. Most years have P, D, S Proof and S silver proof, so it's a big undertaking to try and collect every date, mint and proof at nearly 200 coins. Report this Post to the Staff
hcmusicguy Pillar of the Community United States 814 Posts	Posted 07/23/2014 6:06 pm Its all about whatever you want to do. I myself am doing a Kennedy half set of the P and D circulation strikes (and S for the silver bicentennial coin). To add in the proofs would be a more expensive undertaking than I am willing to do. So I'm not. Report this Post to the Staff
smokeriderdon Pillar of the Community United States 3755 Posts	Posted 07/23/2014 7:08 pm Most would consider a short set to be just the P&D coins. I would call 64-70 a mini set. Report this Post to the Staff
ghostrider Pillar of the Community United States 1116 Posts	Posted 07/23/2014 9:57 pm Every year it gets harder and harder to complete the full set. I'm almost there (missing 12 coins). But I am taking my time due budget considerations. I should have it completely up to date in a couple of years. Unless the mint releases a lot of new Kennedy coins this year.

So I'm not. I'm pretty much just doing the proofs or SMS coins to make it even smaller, but nicer looking coins. So I'll only have about 50. Report this Post to the Staff
