Images of the two Accented Hairs I got in today.

These two have flat-out the deepest mirrors I've ever seen on a 1964; every bit the caliber that we see on deep cameo '68 to '70 Kennedys. One has some hairlining in the left obverse field that is enough to keep at out of anything higher than a 65 holder. The other is a 67 every day of the week, and maybe a 68 on Sundays.

There are no frost breaks anywhere on the reverse, what appears as such is just shadows. What appear to be frost breaks on the portrait are far more minor than they seem in the image. The concave nature of the bust tends to magnify the effect, and it's difficult to fill lighting.

Both of these coins have a very real shot at DCAM.

WOW they look great much better than the auction pics (what are you going to do with the rest of the sets that came with the deal?)

I cherrypicked an ugly one today

Had to buy it since it was my first ever cherrypick

PS- Whoa! Holy Hell those are nice!

Good luck Russ. I'd say you've got a real shot with #1. #2 is pretty, but it looks just like the PR64 I made. The grading guide says that's the highest grade they can give with significant hairlines. Based on the pics, I like #1 as PR67 Dcam. That would be exciting, and would fund an extensive search for more.

Don,

I have a couple of them in 65 holders that have the same degree of hairlining as this piece. But, I also have a couple in 64 holders, again with the same amount. The difference between the coins appears to be based on overall appeal, so I think it could go either way.

Hey Rus, You suck!!!.. Did you buy a bunch of proof sets while I was gone???

BTW, nice coins, I had to wipe the slobber off the keyboard!!!

Marty,

I picked these sets up here. As soon as the auction went live, I eMailed the seller and started negotiating for early closure.

He's got A LONG WAY TO GO before he's the AH "Hunt Brothers" - but he's doing alright.

I get to see them in person tomorrow!

I knew I felt a disturbance in the force.......

Congratulations Russ. All your hard work and diligence was finally rewarded.

Russ,

You DA Man!!!

I was feeling pretty good about my PF68Cam Accented Hair that I cherried for $9 until I saw these!

Russ · April 11, 2003 11:16AM

segoja,

In case you missed it, the grades are back.

I mentioned your 68CAM in the thread, but out of privacy concerns, didn't say who it was.
