Which Clad JFK minted after 1961 has the lowest mintage?

[CarlWohlforth]

At least according to my Redbook...

Ummmm, as long as we're at PD and doing comm stuff, how's 'bout the 1964 SMS half?

Oops!       Duhhhh.... spent too much time underwater.... CLAD, dummy, CLAD!

Heck, now I dunno...??

I reckon it has to be the 1970S $1/2,as that one almost never turns up.

I've only ever come across one since I have been involved in numismatics.

Close. The 1970-D was only issued in mint sets with a low mintage of 2,150,000. The S mint proof (I excluded proofs) had mintage numbers 1/2 million higher.

Carl,
  John F. Kennedy $1/2 coins began in 1964.In 1961,it was the Benjamin Franklin $1/2 coin that was being struck.

It was a question requiring some extra thought.

Yup. I guess all JFKs were minted after '61. Even so that '70-D has a lower mintage than any Franklin between '61 and '63. Only when you go back to the proofs of '61 do you get a lower mintage (or some of the more recent silver JFK proofs).

 *It was a question requiring some extra thought.*

Yup, I needed some extra thought on phrasing the question in the first place.

2008

1.7 Million for each mint.

[CarlWohlforth]

That doesn't count! My Redbook doesn't include 2008s.

[19Lyds]

Then are you looking for the 2000-P at 8.9 Million?

[CarlWohlforth]

Naw, I'm looking t the 1970-D with a mintage of 2,150,000. It was only produced for the mint sets...
