    About the coins for sale:
    Bicentennial coins are always collectible
    They marked America's 200th birthday. And in five short years, when these bicentennial halves are 50 years old, America will mark its 250th birthday.

Kennedy Bicentennials always attract a premium because of their 2-year-only custom designs and the landmark, 1776 - 1976 dual date. These halves are one of only three bicentennial coins produced - joined by the Washington quarters and Eisenhower dollar coins. They are the only coins in American history with a dual date to have been placed in general circulation - as if they were an ordinary coin.
    They are anything but.
    The bicentennials were both produced and circulated in the years 1975 and 1976, using the same dual date on them all, 1776 -
    1976
    . Because of their unchanged date for two years, there are no circulating quarters, halves or dollar coins dated 1975.

All three bicentennial coins have custom designs. On the Kennedys, the usual image of a heraldic eagle on the reverse is replaced with the image of Independence Hall in Philadelphia, where the Declaration of Independence was signed.
    The Kennedy bicentennial is a key coin in the Kennedy half dollar series and it is forever collectible at a premium to face value because it is both history made and history kept.
    Kennedy half dollars were born of America's tears
    President John F. Kennedy, a charismatic leader from Massachusetts and the youngest president voters ever had elected, was in a motorcade driving through Dallas with his wife beside him in an open convertible. There an assassin fired on President Kennedy, killing the president. The horrible shooting was witnessed by hundreds who were waving the motorcade on and was caught on film. It is known now as 'the day America's innocence died.
    With a country grief struck by its loss, within days of his death, the U.S. Treasury and the U.S. Mint prepared to issue a coin in memory of the president. In just four months, when the coin was to be issued, lines stretched outside bank branches across the country as patrons waited to acquire the new coin that morning.  Anticiapating high demand, banks limited purchases to 40 coins per customer. But a country mourning its loss far outstripped the production and the purchase limits. By noon, customers had purchase the entire initial supply of 70,000, 1964 Kennedy silver half dollars..
    Kennedy half dollars remained so popular for several years after its release, that only rarely were they found circulating, and this despite the Treasury constantly increasing their production. The memorial coins had become a treasured American keepsake and a collector's coin as well.
    While the first Kennedy half dollar was made of 90% silver, fast rising precious metal prices forced the cutback to 40% silver in the general circulation Kennedy half dollars from 1965 through 1969.
