I don't recall the US Mint issuing a six-piece Kennedy set. It did issue a four-piece silver set and a separate two-piece clad set, but not a six-piece set. Each of the 2014 coins in these sets is listed individually in the Red Book.
Third-party six-piece sets might have been put together for sale in the aftermarket, but such sets would not be listed in the Red Book.

My apologies, it is the 4 pc set from US Mint, one coin from each mint. I rechecked the book and still don't see it, what category is it under?

The individual coins, with special notations regarding them being part of the set, are listed within the regular Kennedy half dollar section. I don't see the whole set listed. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved.

For what is is worth, I have a six piece set. I did this by placing the two coin set (a flat pack) inside the box with the four coin set. There is just enough room.  |

If you want to get FANCY, there is a SEVEN coin set - the Gold version.
It actually makes a nice grouping, with six different finishes and two metals.

I might as well mention there is a 13 coin version of the 2014 Kennedy set. Add these six to the seven above: Normal clad proof, normal silver proof, mint set P&D, bag/roll P&D (technically a true business strike, versus the slower-higher pressure mint set strike). |

You can expand the two business strike clad P/D to four: Those that come from mint sets (minted with higher pressure at a slower speed and then handled more carefully after strike) and those that come from bags/rolls (minted as if they would have went into circulation had they not been NCLT). Yes, there are those who make this distinction. |

Interesting to see how the original question about a specific Mint-produced/packaged set was left behind and the thread morphed into a different discussion of all the permutations of 2014 Kennedy half dollars. It's obvious you just can't leave a group of numismatists alone for too long!  Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved.

Huh? The OPs question was inaccurate, it was asked about, corrected and answered in the 1st four messages. Then I took it further into the additional permutations of the 2014 Kennedy. And yes, JBuck, I do know the difference between clad and silver, even if my finger's don't...  -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ |

That was his point. It started here, ended up there. No harm, no foul. Consider it value added.  |
