Best Of

The only logical explanation I can think of is that there is some type of investigation, and authorities probably said not to post any details online the internet in case it affects said investigation in some way. I don’t really see how the details of the original post could have been consequential, but OP might have been instructed that nothing at all should be posted thus deleting it. I do hope we can be filled in at a later date though.

Definitely Half Eagles. Early and Charlotte product particularly.

Type 1 PR70 DCAM

MS 66 (No FG)

Good morning. It is Thursday, March 12th.


Today we continue with the Kennedy halves, and our type for the day is the Kennedy Half Dollar Clad (1965-Date).


Now, I don't know about the physical Dansco 7070 album (I haven't had one of those in a few years), but note that the Registry type set lineup we're working from does not distinguish the silver clad (1965-69) Kennedies from the later (1970-present) copper-nickel clad subtype.


So you may post any 1965 or later Kennedy half with the regular design. NOT the Bicentennial half, though. That type comes much later in the lineup- and out of sequence. You see, the three types of Bicentennial coins are represented much farther down in the "album" lineup. We will get to them after we've done all the gold coins.


I presently own no post-1965 Kennedy halves except in my change jar. Here are two that I used to own.


I had this one as part of a never-completed 1965 SMS (birthyear) set I was working on. I sold it but would like to find another with attractive toning someday.





Here is one from my ancient Registry type set from 20 years ago (you know, the one with all the wretched scans for images. LOL) This is likely my all-time "best of type" example, as I do not recall ever owning a PR69- or -70 DCAM.

I am sorry to hear about this. It seems like it's happening more and more.

This is one of the reasons why I avoid all pressure some people put me for sending my coins to CAC. What you pay to CAC is minor compared with risk of losing your coins to mail thieves.
