Hoping to find that elusive 67 or better? Here's what Rick Tomaska says in his Kennedy/Franklin book about this year.

    Are you tempted to open this roll?
    I think I would be!

    It looks tampered with, hopefully not.

    I'm at least hoping I come across at least one, that I can consider between a 66 and a 67? Just one out of the 20. :*

    Pictured is an "Hansen" example; MS 67 / Looking to at least match his.

    I would leave the roll unopened.

    Did the mint actually release rolls? I always thought mint output was bags.

    Smitten with DBLCs.

    You could not purchase rolls from the mint in 1975/6.

    Too Late. I already completed opening. Found ONE coin that has potential, maybe 66/67? He'll be taking an over night bath. Will post tomorrow, Thanks. :)

    What kind of wrapper do you suppose this is? From where, anyone know? Thanks.

    Just don’t take a bite! Freeze a bag or roll of of chocolate coins to take with you if you’re tempted :)
    I hope the gem of the bunch comes back like you want it to. Let’s go 67 on the ‘76-‘76!

  • abcde12345abcde12345 Posts: 3,404 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Good luck with your single coin. I know it is marks and a lack of blazing luster that will hold these clad halves back from a superior gem MS67 (pcgs) grade.

  • rickoricko Posts: 98,724 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Good luck with your roll of coins...and the candidate you have selected. Look forward to the picture. I have a bunch of those coins I put away back then.... all from change at the time. Have not looked at them for years...Though I am sure there are no 67's there. Cheers, RickO

    OK guy's, here ya go! A Candidate or not? Maybe, too much chatter near his cheek? Warning:Many pics.

    Not worth the postage much less the $40 in fees, but I'm sure you will send it anyway so good luck.

    With so much chatter on the head, cheek and neck that looks 64.

    MS66 taste on an MS63 budget.

    Good News, I hope? I just received a PM from a so called expert on this particular Kennedy. He said he is the one that sold the MS 67 Kennedy to Hansen (The coin pictured, TV Photo). He said, my coin is definitely a MS 66, maybe has a real shot at a MS67? Only if those hits aren't really as vivid in hand? Hmmm? :*

    These big coins are especially susceptible to marks.

    I thought most high grade modern MS coins came out of mint sets? :*

    When assessing coins from images, I’d use the word “definitely” only on very rare occasions. Calling that coin 66 or better, is not one of those occasions.

  • ifthevamzarockinifthevamzarockin Posts: 8,902 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I think this one tells the story. Lots of stuff on the cheek, hair & neck.

    My dumb guess would be not a chance at a 67. :/

  • keetskeets Posts: 25,351 ✭✭✭✭✭

    MS63, perhaps MS64 and stop listening to the guy who said this coin is an MS66.

  • ike126ike126 Posts: 802 ✭✭✭✭✭

    That coin is a MS 66 all day by NTC standards.

  • SanctionIISanctionII Posts: 12,170 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Good luck if you submit the coin for grading.

    No guts, no glory.

    If you receive a 67 or higher grade good for you. You can bask in the glow that comes with success.

    If you do not receive a lofty grade the education you receive from having the coin graded by our host will also have value, maybe even enough to offset your out of pocket cost.

  • AUandAGAUandAG Posts: 24,780 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I'd take a guess at 64. No higher. Rim dings, cheek chatter, head chatter, neck chatter, date chatter. etc.

    Perhaps you can get enough people here to bet on the grade to offset your cost of submission. See if that guy who said it’s definitely a 66 will chip in $20 if it goes lower. It looks like a nice coin to me, and I would guess higher than 64 but not 67. There are literally millions of these coins sitting around. A 67 wouldn’t be so valuable if it were easy to make.

    Lots of people seem pretty sure of their grading guesses. See if they’ll put money behind it!
