yukoncornelius New Member United States 19 Posts	Posted 08/27/2011 5:25 pm Quick opinion poll among my fellow coiners. Q: Do you think the 1998-S Matte Kennedy half is worth the money as an investment coin or is it just a fad coin? Report this Post to the Staff

muddler Pillar of the Community United States 7209 Posts	Posted 08/27/2011 6:05 pm I got one with the Robert Kennedy dollar just to complete my silver Kennedy half set. It doesn't have that deep mirrored proof look that a typical proof coin has it looks more like just a BU. Report this Post to the Staff
yukoncornelius New Member United States 19 Posts	Posted 08/28/2011 10:33 am I do not have the SMS set at this time. I was looking at purchasing the half by itself. The particular one I have found is graded SP70. Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6400 Posts	Posted 08/28/2011 11:38 am This coin has no appeal for me; I just don't get excited about the different finishes. I compared the prices quoted in the Coin Values price guides from March and September, 2011 and noticed the 1998-S matte proof dropped from $285 to $250. During the same 6 months the regular 1998-S silver proof went up from $11 to $25. I would not purchase this one unless it was cheap and could be flipped for a profit. Others may disagree!

muddler Pillar of the Community United States 7209 Posts	Posted 08/28/2011 11:54 am Here is my example of the 1998 s Matte finish half. The appeal is that this is the lowest mintage Kennedy half. Report this Post to the Staff

I would think there might be a premium in having the complete set, as issued? Report this Post to the Staff
