Here is the picture of the impaired proof:   I got these today, a run of both P and D halves from 2002-2007 from a different branch of the bank that I use.

Jbuck, I believe I read an article that stated after 2019 the mint put the Kennedy back into regular circulation. If I am not mistaken 2020 and beyond are no longer considered NIFC Coins.
"LOVE THE HUNT!"

I could have sworn 2020 was still an NIFC, but 2021 and 2022 were not NIFCs.

Quote: I could have sworn 2020 was still an NIFC, but 2021 and 2022 were not NIFCs. The Kennedy half dollar is de facto NIFC. There is no legislation or executive order making them such, unlike the small dollars, where the Presidential dollar was halted in 2012 by executive order and the Innovation dollars which are NCLT by legislation. The half dollars are NIFC because the Federal Reserve is not ordering them from the Mint to replenish stock to serve the banks. That being said, according the the mintage numbers, the 2018 and 2021 are higher than normal, with 2020 slightly higher. This excess was likely ordered by the Fed to satisfy demand from the banks and thus were "issued" for circulation. It is also interesting to note that 2013 was an atypical year. I now wonder how often the 2013 half dollars are showing up compared to other "NIFC" years.

That would be interesting to see.
I have noticed while watching RobFindsTreasure's channel that he has been getting lots of 2021 and 2022 uncirculated half dollar boxes, which supports the idea that those years either aren't really NIFCs or that they were released in that particular part of the country.

Yes, it would be interesting to see an analysis. It depends on where the banks are that order them what their district FRB has in the vault to send them.

I ask for CWR now and then, but haven't found anything in a few months. I stopped at a favorite bank the other weekend and asked for halves. The teller said she had 88 rolls and was eager to offload them. Sensing another collector's rejects, I timidly agreed to buy $100. Two of the ten rolls were loaded, with twenty-five 40%ers between them. I went back the following Monday for the other 78 rolls, but they contained no silver. It was a little disappointing, but I can hardly complain after such good luck.

5 days ago, I went to one of our branches, the teller I know said he had some Kennedy's. I eagerly took them, since this was the first time, he said he had some loose ones in the drawer. I took all $12.50, and he placed them in bank pouch with my penny rolls. Man was I surprised to find my first 40% silver Kennedy, then another and then 3 more. A 1966, (3) 1967, and a 1968. A trip well worth it.
