The United States Mint is edging closer to selling out its self-set limit of coins designated for two-roll sets from the 2024-P and 2024-D Kennedy half dollars struck in circulation quality.

The bureau capped the available numismatic product at 26,250 sets, priced at $34.50 per set. Each set comprises one $10 face value paper-wrapped roll of 20 Kennedy half dollars struck at both the Denver and Philadelphia Mints.

As of April 29, the U.S. Mint recorded sales of 25,677 of the sets.

The U.S. Mint also limited its sales of canvas bags of 200 mixed Kennedy half dollars, holding 100 circulation quality half dollars from each of the two Mints.

The limit is 11,550 bags.

The bags retail for $147 per bag with no ordering restriction.
