bill069 Pillar of the Community United States 608 Posts	Posted 12/04/2014 2:48 pm Here's my question, if you remove the Kennedy half dollars from the UC set, Rolls, and the 50th Anniversary set, and mix them up on a table can you tell which is which? Report this Post to the Staff

Distinguishing the other two from each other (rolls or mint set) might be tougher.

bill069 Pillar of the Community United States 608 Posts	Posted 12/04/2014 3:25 pm Thanks jbuck for you comments. I have the sets and, for me, found it very hard to see any difference. Report this Post to the Staff
smokeriderdon Pillar of the Community United States 3755 Posts	Posted 12/04/2014 6:04 pm Yes they can. RP is obvious as is the EU. D unc is silver. Thats an easy tell. Proof is Philly . So you can tell all 4 in the set without even considering the relief. That leaves the 2 coin set. OK the gold too but that doesn't enterminto this one. The coins in the two coin set, to my eyes, are clearly different from the normal ones. Higher relief, hair is different. Report this Post to the Staff

jbuck Moderator United States 187702 Posts	Posted 12/05/2014 10:10 am He is discussing the clad uncirculated P/D coins, not the silver set. The coins in the 50th Anniversary Kennedy 2014 Half-Dollar Uncirculated Coin Set are obviously different from the rolled/bagged half dollars when compared side by side. Differentiating a freed mint set half dollar to one form a bag or roll could prove difficult, unless you assume the former would always be more pristine and the latter banged up. Design wise, no difference. Coin Collector Since 1978 Avatar Old Avatar 7070 Eisenhower Australia Canada World CCF Members on eBay CCF eBay Search Engine Report this Post to the Staff
bill069 Pillar of the Community United States 608 Posts	Posted 12/05/2014 12:44 pm Thanks for all the comments and feed-back...I guess I need to look a little closer to pick up the details that have been mentioned. Thanks again and wish you all the best for the holidays. Report this Post to the Staff
