I found this coin in our vehicle and confirmed it was from one of my children. It surprised me, since I don't see half-dollars very often outside the context of coin collecting. It's amazing to think that this coin is now FIFTY years old!
I was surprised with the detail on this coin, not that it's in great shape, but that all the features are large, being a fairly large coin. They really don't make them like they used to. In the 60's and 70's, coins had a deep relief and makes the features really seem to pop out.
It's really noticeable on the reverse, with all the elaborate details of the eagle on the great seal. Again, even with the scratches and dents, this coin has really held up well. All the text is clear and details like the individual eagle's wing feathers are pretty sharp.
It's an handsome coin and I wish modern half-dollars continued to have this deep-relief. The designed has still not changed, even now in 2024.
But the relief is flat on the modern coin and they tend to get damaged very easily in circulation.
If not for the date, I wouldn't think there was much of an age difference between these two!
Do you have a collection of Kennedy Half-dollars?
Bless the Most High!
Teach Your Children Liberty from Sin
We encourage parents to teach their children principles of Godliness, beginning with the Word and an understanding who God is and what His Son has done to form a relationship with us.
No one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw, his workmanship will be evident, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will prove the quality of each man’s work. 1 Corinthians 3:11-13
Teach Your children Liberty from Tyranny
Second to this is the principle of self-determination and freedom, lest we loose the ability to teach our children the first principle in future generations.
Our children read the Tuttle Twin books, specifically to learn libertarian principles, which most people learn later in life. These books are useful for our family, and yours, to teach children concepts that seem complicated, but are made simple in these books.
