  • Liberty Coin Service Collecting Kennedy Half Dollars
    Liberty Coin Service Collecting Kennedy Half Dollars by Thomas Coulson November 22, 1963 is one of the handful of days in United States History that will always be remembered clearly by those who lived it. The assas- sination of President John F. Kennedy in Dallas was devastating to the United States populace. Before his funeral was over, there was already discussion of a lasting tribute for such a beloved president. In only thir- ty eight days, the Kennedy Half Dollar was designed and approved into law. Production began in January, 1964 and coins reached commerce in late March, 1964. It was a remarkably fast time for a coin to go from concept to circulation. 1964 Kennedy Half Dollar Because of President Kennedy’s tragic death and great popularity, the coins were aggressively hoarded by the public. Some wanted a memento of the slain president. Others saw opportunity in future demand for the coin. Many went to Europe, par- ticularly Germany, where Kennedy’s visit a year earlier made him very popular. Further exacerbating the supply of new halves was the rising price of silver, which drew virtually all 90% silver coins out of circula- tion quickly. Few Kennedy Halves made it into circulation for long. When one was seen in circulation, it was considered an oddity to be saved; so even more were withdrawn in this manner. As few kennedy half dollars were seen, the denomination faded from public consiousness and mintages gradually declined from year to year. By 2001, there was ostensibly no demand for Half Dollars in commerce.
