Want to See a Kennedy Proof Coin in Circulation?

Here is one of five (5) Kennedy Proof Half Dollars I found in circulation last week.

Someone probably opened some proof sets and spent them.

These coins look great. Notice the details that show because the strike is not a BUSINESS STRIKE  but a PROOF STRIKE.

John F Kennedy-S

Notice that the mint mark is an S. That means it was minted in San Francisco.

Give Your Grandchild a Proof Coin From the Mint

Consider giving your grandchild a proof coin from the US Mint as a present. Why?

  1. They are made with different inks and strikes. They are beautiful.
  2. They are an investment that will grow in value
  3. They will not wear  out like clothes and  shoes

Consider purchasing the low mintage coins that were made this year. Coins like the new quarters and presidential dollars.  Check out values quickly be  looking at what is selling on Ebay.

For example, if you do a search  on Puerto Rico Quarters, Proof, you will be surprised at what the bid and sales are for only one quarter.

Think about  it.
