USA residents, do you know this coin?

Well, i got today morning this coin, but the problem is that I cannot guess what president is painted in the coin. Do you know who is he? My candidates are Jimmy Carter (according to the year) or some Kennedy, according to the photo.

Well, here you\'ve the pic...

thats JFK, you heathen

John F. Kennedy  (shot heard \'round the world, well maybe not in spain)

and thats a bicentennial half dollar coin

printed in 1976 to commemorate our birthyear, 1776

kennedy half dollar coins started in 1964 but only that year had a different back, the other years had this



not a very rare or precious coin, but cool to have none-the-less

mm, I guessed due to draw, but what the hell does Kennedy in a conmemorative coin some years after his death?

PD: all coins are beauty, precious and single. ;) Silver?

Thanx a lot.

Ok, get my PM in 1 min, but this one is not silver buddy, I think it\'s nickel mixed, IMO, or am I wrong?

what about these?  susan B. anthony 1$ coins?
we call them "dike dollars"  *snicker*



they were printed only for a few years
1979-1981

susan B. anthony was a big civil rights leader in america in the late 1800\'s.  shes the one that got women the right to vote

i dont have nice cases like the pic above, but the coins are in fairly great shape

Wow, great one, i\'ve only seen it in a book of coins. Pretty nice.

Don\'t worry, the coins are superb! If they\'re well packed, no problem.

I own 20 "dike dollars".  They aren\'t common at all except for a bank near by me gives them out as change.
