Hey Kennedy guys

tradedollarnut

What’s a 1966 SMS in 68 Cam worth if it grades out?

MACGE1

Probably not enough to be worth your time

joebb21

$300-$500

Here is the correct answer!

So, somewhere between $288 and $1680, just as a ballpark.

Mitch @wondercoin can give you an accurate price.

jtlee321

Is there any chance it could go DCAM?

davewesen

If it doesn't grade at your number and gets a SP67, it is worth about $20.

cameonut2011

When did you start collecting moderns?

ricko

Hmmm... perhaps I should send some of my Kennedy halves in...Naaah..... I won't sell them anyway. Cheers, RickO

TwoSides2aCoin

I like an inquisitive mind. Surprised at who's asking, but it makes me happy to read.

renman95

There goes my high bid....

segoja

Very salable coin....If it DCAM's is a huge hit

Hemispherical

Kennedy’s got more expensive.

1965-67 Cameo and DCAM coinage (along with Cameo and DCAM proof coinage fro. 1936 to 1964 or even 1970) are often viewed as modern and pedestrian.

However the SMS niche area of the hobby offers a wide variety of collecting options and an opportunity for a collector to assemble a collection a high grade, eye appealing set of coins. Many such coins, both raw and slabbed, are available but it takes time and effort to find examples that meet the criteria for inclusion into a top notch set.

If one enjoys hunting for the right coin and having success in finding same within acceptable time periods the SMS coinage is a fun area to collect in.

Don't forget to check if its the "no initials" type. Nice premium also! $$$

tradedollarnut

Not my coin - just trying to help someone out with it. Any imperfections seen in these pics are on the holder

Wabbit2313

I am not seeing 68 and not seeing DCAM. Might go CAM but who knows these day?

tradedollarnut

I never said dcam. In hand, it’s a very strong cam

your pic looks closer to this for me ... but who knows, collectors club special this month and modern so probably worth the risk.

CommemKing

looks SP65 to me. No way that is going 68 with the mess on that face. You've already wasted enough time.

I never said you said that. That is the only thing that will pull that coin from 20 bucks in value. I am surprised you think it is anywhere near a 68.

SanctionII

From the photo it looks like the half dollar is a candidate for a bath. 50+ years of sitting in the OGP has caused some light haze to develop on the coin. Add to that the photo shows the coin in the OGP and the plastic hides the true appearance of same. I suspect in hand, after a bath the coin would look much better.

illini420

Not seeing a CAM grade or a 68 grade from those photos.

amwldcoin

I'm with the majority...I won't offer an opinion on grade due to the holder issues....while the Rev. makes Cam the Obv. doesn't from what I am seeing in the pictures.

bronco2078

This is a straight line and we have to finish it?

How about

"watch out for that tree!!!"

"Leave that babysitter alone "

"careful , it's not a seaplane!"

Thats it I'm out

Bruce, these SMS sets are easily opened and the coins can be removed/replaced. that would give a better idea of what the coin actually looks like. my experience is that when free of the packaging they really do look a lot cleaner, higher grade to the camera lens. also, as Sanction mentioned, a rinse in E-Z-Est almost always improves the appearance of the SMS issues. I use a 50/50 mixture with distilled water and several rinses with water, 90% alcohol and acetone.

I will presume you know how to do that.

Broadstruck

Am I the only one that thinks TDN's account was hacked?

TwoSides2aCoin

It has a great strike and looks good. But in my opinion it doesn't look like it would get into a 67 Cam holder. Uncertain what a 68 cam brings in the current market, though. Probably more than I can spend. That's a good one, Broadstruck.

You know what happens when you "presume". Wait a minute, thats "assume". I just made an ass out of myself! I'm having a bad day!
