Finally getting around to some year end games. Between 1970-2012, there are a possible 42 Kennedy Half Dollar S proof years (1970 was silver and uncirculated). Frankiefry pointed out that there was no 1975 proof since the mint was gearing up for the 1976 coin explosion.

Amazingly, I only missed out on 8 years out of 42 years. I realize that circulated proofs do not garner much value but I also only paid 50 cents and it is a fun game to play. :D

Here was the breakdown:


1970-'79 (omitting non-produced 75): 7/9- Only missed 1970 and 1973.
1980-'89: 9/10- Only missed out on 1982.
1990-'99: 8/10- Only missed out on 1997 and 1998.
2000-'09: 7/10- Only missed out on 2006,2007, and 2009.
2010-'12: 2/3- Only missed out on 2012.

Honestly what I would do is ask KingTotsalot for the rest. I know he has to has some. But I am not sure if he would part with any.

I think the 1969 Proof Set has a Proof Kennedy as well.

I was just looking at the non-silver years 71-2012 except for 1970 which was included to make it an even decade. KT is a good man and would help me out. But I want to find all of mine on my own. It is kind of like finding a dug state quarter collection out of the ground. It is just a game to pass the time.
 
LOL KT views his trades for working on his CRH set of proof halves from only a slightly different perspective...He trades only cause He has not got enough eyes to find them all! The King is getting somewhat impatient in his old age, so He wants to assemble them all from CRH finds (His and others) before He dies! :laughing::laughing::laughing::laughing:

Enjoyed your explanation and thread, ATLfun!
