Thanks Jlam. There were a over 800 of them, including a lot of silver. I picked the best for the set and the rest still reside in a safe place in my home.

I have a few Kennedy halves but haven't been serious about collecting them yet. I plan on it eventually. I like to look at them and remember the good ole days. I was a teenager.

my father in law received $200.00 worth as payment on some floor covering he sold. after his death I got them. from 65 to 2000 year date, I picked out one of each 65 through 70 and took the rest to the bank. I'm Happy.

Well, the most epic thread in CCF history (1662 pages as of today) is all about JFK.  For what it is worth, I do have a JFK set spread across three Dansco albums.

I collect the Kennedy halves but limit them to silver issues. I add the silver proof set each year to maintain the collection.

They're big, they have a timeless (not trendy or gimmicky) design, and they are readily available in medium/high MS for most dates, even in bank boxes. I have never spent more than face/melt for one, but I see the appeal. They are my favorite modern after nickels.

Nice one, TJLang...
I certainly collect them -- very much enjoy the series. I'm glad they're still produced for collectors.
