The Vietnam Era was a time of great change in the United States, and along with those changes came changes to our coins. The Franklin Half Dollar was a foundational piece of coinage in 1955 when the Military Assistance Advisory Group took over for our French allies in Vietnam to help the country from falling into communism. But with the tragic death of President Kennedy in 1963, it was decided that he would be honored on a coin and that the Kennedy Half Dollar would replace the Franklin. These two distinctive coin designs were the backbone of U.S. currency during the Vietnam Era (1955-1975) and they are now recognized in The Complete Vietnam War Half Dollar Coin Collection, available in an exclusive presentation from The Bradford Exchange Mint. It all begins with Issue One, 1973 Operation Homecoming - 1973 Kennedy Half Dollar. Next to arrive will be Issue Two, 1971 Operation Lam Son - 1971 Kennedy Half Dollar and FREE Deluxe Display Case. Soon your collection will continue with Issue Three, 1972 Operation Linebacker - 1972 Kennedy Half Dollar and additional Vietnam War-era Half Dollars, each a separate issue to follow.‡

Offered in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, some of the genuine U.S. Franklin and Kennedy Half Dollars in this collection are nearly 70 years old and were minted with genuine silver content, so they are sure to be coveted for their value and historical significance both.
