Will 2008 Kennedy Half Dollars Be Key Date Coins?
2008 Kennedy Half Dollar
Today I read an article from the Mint News Blog titled 2008 US Mint Sleeper Hits. In that article it is stated that there were only 1.7 million 2008-P Kennedy half dollars and 1.7 million 2008-D Kennedy half dollars minted in 2008. If these low mintage numbers remained low in December, the 2008 Kennedy half dollars could be the lowest number of minted Kennedy halves since the series began in 1964.
In 1964, the Philadelphia Mint produces 277,254,766 Kennedy half dollars. The highest mintage year was 1971 when the Denver Mint produced 302,097,424. However, in recent years Kennedy half dollar mintage numbers have been very low. In this decade, the US mint has averaged about 2.8 million half dollars per branch mint per year.
Will the 2008 Kennedy Half Dollars be key date coins for the series? If you go by mintage numbers, it is hard to imagine that it won’t be. In fact, every year since 2000 will be key date coins for the Kennedy Half Dollar series.
Will you be buying some 2008 Kennedy half rolls?

I have several coins that are from mint rolls. I have not touched them with my hands and either has anyone else. Should I get them graded?
