20 US half dollars total a whopping 10 bucks... so just why do you think you should get a 400% markup..? I will be thinking about supporting a real brick and mortar Shope from here on out , not because of the cost of these coins, but also because I have seen a decline in expediency in receiving orders.. ya sure blame the Post Office.. No... I think it has something behind the philosophy of a 400%markup!!

I inadvertently hit the wrong character twice times.. it should have read 200% markup!,!,

Customer reviews for Kennedy Half Dollars (Roll of 20 Coins)

Taha

Good coins ...

Alexander

They are perfect for sleight of hand coin magic

Joel

Bought these and they did not disappoint. Great condition Kennedy half dollars for all coin routines.

Jonathan

They are half dollars. Many people work with quarters, or dollars, or Chinese coins, or whatever, but I really like half dollars and it feels pretty good to have plenty of half dollars to work with. They are a perfect weight and excellent quality.

Gerald

Normal half dollars. These are usually the size of coins people like to work with. Only downside is paying twice the amount of the face value of the coin but hey, you get it in a roll sorted out for you so no complaints.

Skye

If you're a coin worker, this is an excellent and affordable way to get your hands on a bunch of genuine Kennedy half dollars. The coins may not all be visually the same, from dates to tarnish, so be forewarned if you're looking for a set of 20 perfectly identical halves. If you can look past that, get these now!

Luke

Great coins for a variety of tricks, come in the bank paper coin rolls. A good selection of worn and newer coins. Would recommend, a little expensive but difficult to get hold of so happy to pay the price. Would recommend.

Gerhard

Quite a large number of coins. All in all they are not bad, not great either. Mix of older and more recent coins. Some of them have different tail designs to the normal tail design. These clean up pretty nice with Silvo. Not bad for the money you pay and as I don't live in US, its great to be able to get bunch of these. Could be a bit nicer but all in all - its ok.

Dave

Sooo these are great for me as I'm not a us citizen nor am I in America hence I won't spend them! Haha!
They are a great size to palm and catch the eye as they're bright and shiny!
People also like to have a good look at them too as they seem unusual in my country.

Sean

This roll of 20 Kennedy half dollars is excellent for magic. Coins are pristine, with consistent size and weight, ideal for precise sleight-of-hand. A solid choice for enhancing coin routines.

I also use these with the half dollar expanded shell. They're great!

Brinn

If you don’t live in the US then you don’t have much choice but to pay a premium for US coins, I’m happy paying over face value because these are to be used as props and not currency. Good mixture of dates, in good condition.

Bassem

This roll of Kennedy half dollars is very useful if you do coin magic regularly. They have the right size and look for practice or performance, and having extras makes switches and examinable endings much easier.

- 2. William responds:I think it has to do with the hard d to get purchasing Kennedy Halfs. I have tried to find them without going to bank. And all get get is then” coin shortage “ story
- 3. Ron responds:There are alternatives to buying Kennedy half-dollars from Vanishing-Inc. You could always buy the coins at a bank, local coin shop, or online, but then there are costs involved, such as having to buy gas as you drive about town, or paying for shipping costs if you purchase online. I think 85 cents per coin is a pretty good deal—and they'll ship it right to your house! I collect Walking Liberty and Kennedy halves, and I just paid $14 for an uncirculated 1967 Kennedy Half Dollar (40% silver). Best of luck in your search.
- 4. Dan responds:The price here is lower than that listed by most coin dealers on eBay. There's naturally a fee for the trouble and up-front expense of splitting a box of 1000, which they often have to order two at a time, and in any case, it's typical to sell items at a 50% margin. Much less than that and it's not worth the time to put up a listing, sell the item, and process orders. Is this roll a good deal? As Ron said, that depends on whether you have another good source. Though the bank near my previous address often had rolls, the one by me now doesn't offer them, so I'm getting mine here. If you have a better route, great. But this price is well within the usual range.

- 1. Vanishing Inc. Magic responds:They are genuine half dollars. The exact variety and date is mixed, however.
- 2. Timothy responds:You will most likely NOT get the ones pictured. The 1964 half dollars are the only Kennedy Halves to be 90% silver and worth way more than 50cents each (also more valuable than with the V.I. mark up).
