Close to being skunked!

1- 1961D Franklin
1- 2001P ( NIFC)

That's all.

Closer than you think! 2001 were not NIFC. Some people argue that since they never really got out into circulation, that makes them NIFC. But since NIFC means "Not Intended for Circulation", 2001 does not fall into this category (as mintage figures show that they were indeed intended for circulation).

Then the 2008 Red Book is wrong?

They have the 2001 "P" as NIFC and the 2001D as normal.

If I recall correctly, all 2001 Kennedy half dollars were minted with the intention to circulate, but only the Denver mint released them.

Thanks!

No big deal- I'll just place it back in circulation, but would like to know if the 2008 Red Book listing is wrong on this coin by stating the 2001P was "not issued for circulation"(Pg 204) when it really was placed in circulation.

"not issued for circulation" is correct.

"not intended for circulation" is incorrect.

It was intended to circulate, but it was not issued. So, it depends on what you think the 'I' in NIFC stands for! Semantics.

I guess what I really need to know is:

Is the 2001 P the same as the other NIFC'S listed in the Red Book?

Thanks!

2001p s were minted for general circulation but never released because no reserve bank ordered enough halves. Therefore they simply sat in the mint and were sold by the bag on the mint website until as recently as last year if I remember correctly. There are over 20,000,000 2001 p's but all the nifc issues afterwords were less than 10,000,000 minted.

Well look at the mintage figures and call it as you see it! IMHO both P & D were minted with intent to circulate ( not that they really circulate), even if they are just sitting in a vault somewhere. I agree that both 2001 issues are probably the hardest to find and have put aside a couple nicer examples.

I find fair numbers of both 2001-P and 2001-D when roll searching. Whether intended for circulation or not, quite a few have found their way into the general JFK half population. All dates 2002 and newer are an order of magnitude less common than the 2001, in my experience.

This is true, but would be more accurate to say less than 5 million (at least 2002-2007)and only one of those was over 4 million. I'm not sure of 2008 mintage.

Maybe the mint will wake up to the fact that no one uses halves. I guess it took them until 2002 to fogure that out! My gunky proof was clad in the end.

Todays efforts yielded a 1976S clad proof, and I discovered that somebody is purchasing halves from my dump bank and spreading them all over town!
