Collectors over the weekend picked up 15,619 more 2014 Kennedy Half-Dollar Uncirculated Coin Sets, lifting their four-day sales total to 84,593.
The set was released by the United States Mint on Thursday, July 24, and costs $9.95. Holding two uncirculated coins with original 1964 obverse designs by U.S. Mint Chief Engraver Gilroy Roberts, the sets notched one-day sales of 68,974 units. At the time, the Mint said it had 37,000 on hand.

Small demand for such a low priced 2 coin set. Great!
I don’t know? $1.00 face.
$9.95 plus $4.95 shipping
I’ll spend a few bucks more for an ounce of silver.
Johnny U, you’re commenting on metallic value, versus intrinsic and historical value and significance. I too buy silver, to protect my future, but having been a coin collector, since 1965, I’ve learned, all that glitters is not gold and even something made of brass can be valuable.

Dale. Congrats on quick shipping. I waited to order mine so I will need to wait, wait, wait for my sets. I waited months for my baseball silver coins. I’m used to it. Waiting three years plus for silver to get back up off the ground. Waiting…..
Kevin,
I missed the silver baseball coin only regrets…
