1967 No Mintmark Kennedy 50C Half Dollar Coin

Description: 1967 Kennedy Half Dollar 50C No Mintmark Silver Coin I have the coin inside a BCW 2X2 snap that comes with it. Info & History: Mintage: 295,046,978 Obverse Designer: Gilroy Roberts Reverse Designer: Frank Gasparro Composition: Silver Fineness: 0.4000 Edge: Reeded The year 1967 marked the first time since 1964 that the U. S. Mint confined its production to coins bearing their actual date of manufacture. The coin shortage was over, and enough of the new clad coins were in circulation that the Treasury Department no longer had to maintain its deception in striking coins of previous dates to prevent hoarding. This is almost certainly why the mintage of 1967 half dollars is so high, as the entire year was devoted to coins of that date alone. It was already evident by 1967 that half dollars of any date were becoming a rare sight in most of the country. In actual fact, the popularity of this denomination in commerce had been declining since the 1950s, but the novelty of the Kennedy design sealed its fate once and for all. By the 1970s half dollars were rarely seen in circulation except in areas near gambling casinos, as these coins remained in common use at casinos until the late 1980s.
