Items per Page
In addition to changing the sort method, you may also change the number of items that are displayed on a page. For instance, you can select from 10, 25, 50 or 100 items for a page. We suggest that you choose the number based on the speed of your internet connection. For example, if you are connecting to www.CollecTons.com using a dial up connection, you may choose to view only 10 items at a time in order to keep the pages loading at a reasonable rate. *Your current selection is displayed in black while other options are displayed in white.
View Formats
There are also three different formats by which items may be viewed:
List:
List view presents a list of items along with a small image if available and an excerpt from the items description. We suggest this view if you aren't quite sure what you are looking for as the excerpt from the description may help you find the correct product.
Gallery:
Gallery view presents a matrix of items along with a slightly larger image than what is presented in list view. We suggest this view if you will know what you are looking for when you see it or if you find that pictures say more than words.
Quick:
Quick view is definitely for the person that knows what they are looking for. In this view you are presented with the title of the item and it's price. There's nothing fancy except a check box to the right that allows you to quickly add any number of items to your cart. We find this especially useful to coin buyers that are looking to quickly put together a set of coins.

The composition was changed again in 1971, to a Copper, Nickel clad, removing Silver completely. In 1992, the San Francisco Mint began striking proofs composed of the original Silver alloy. They continue to do so to this day.
The chief engraver for the Mint, Gilroy Roberts, sculpted the obverse side while the reverse side was designed by Frank Gasparro. To commemorate the Bicentennial of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the Mint held a competition for new designs of the reverse of the Kennedy Half Dollar in 1974. Seth G. Huntington won the competition with a design showing Independence Hall. In addition to the redesigned reverse, a double-date "1776-1976" was added to the obverse. For the Bicentenial, a small number of silver clad coins, consisting of an exterior plating of 80% silver and 20% copper with an inner core of 20.9% silver and 79.1% copper were minted for collectors.
From 1964 to 1967 Kennedy Half Dollars were minted only in Denver and Philadelphia. From 1968 to the present, business strikes have been struck at Denver and Philadelphia Mints, with the proofs struck in San Francisco.
