Set Description
Here is how I have broken down what I see to be the JFK types.
1. 1964 or 1964-D 90% silver business strike
2. 1964 proof, 90% silver, Philadelphia proof
3. 1964 proof, 90% silver, accent hair, Philadelphia proof
4. 1965-1970, 40% silver, business strike
5. 1965-1967 40% silver SMS coins
6. 1968-1970 40% silver,San Francisco proof
7. 1971-present clad business strike P and D mint
8. 1971-present clad proof San Francisco mint
9. 1976 Bicentennial design clad business strike P and D mint
10.1976 Bicentennial design clad proof, San Francisco mint
11.1976 Bicentennial design 40% silver, BU, San Francisco
12.1976 Bicentennial design 40% silver, proof, S mint
13.1992-present 90%silver proof, San Francisco mint
14.1998 90% silver specimen proof, San Francisco proof
15.2005-present clad satin finish from mint sets, P and D
Those are the categories I have defined as of now. Other categories I have considered are:
a. 1970-D -40% silver BU released in mint sets only
b. 1987-P and 1987-D, clad coins released in mint sets only
c. 2002-present business strike coins not released for commerce (they are not like the current mint set coins.0
Perhaps the last 3 categories are not appropriate for a complete type set. I would appreciate any feedback.
Set Goals
A set of Kennedy half dollars representing the many varieties of this coin in 1964. I am looking to assemble a complete"type set". The registry type sets often have 6 slots for different Kennedy types. I have expanded that idea, and have attemted an all inclusive look at the many types of the JFK half dollar
