Nearly ten years have passed since I last got a half dollar coin in my change. By 2002 they were no longer issued for circulation but even by then they were rarely seen in the wild. Getting this one was a rare treat that hopefully gets repeated.
This is the 50th anniversary of the Kennedy half dollar and as far as I know there are no special ciruclating coins being issued, or any coin. The end of circulating halves has made them especially popular among tourists who also seek two dollar bills as souvenirs. Still I have found non-circulating halves in my change and expect to find more because the still have little extra value.
Here's the stats...
Type/Country: 50 Cents / United States
Year: 1998-D
Mintage: 15,064,000
Metal: 91.67% Copper, 8.33% Nickel
Value: $0.50 in EF-40

I sometimes find half dollars from 2002 and on in rolls from the bank or pocket change. They're very often in fairly good condition so I hang on to them. Do you think they will ever become valuable? Do you think they will stop minting them altogether?
