Kennedy Half Dollar error coins are sought after by many error coin collectors for the large size of the coin and the big errors that can occur on them. Putting together a type set of the different types of errors that happen on Kennedys can be very challenging, but visually rewarding. Similar errors occur in all denominations, but they are generally bigger and bolder in half dollars. In the year 2002 to present, major Kennedy error coins became very scarce to non-existent since the US Mint put in systems and processes to reduce mint error coins from being released. The two notable years of the Kennedy Half Dollar are of course the 1964 90% silver issue as well as the 1976 Bicentennial Half Dollar. If you like big bold error coins, search for major errors on Kennedy Half Dollars.
