Hi guys,
It's been a long time coming for me to hunt down a cherry pick. Well, today I found two.

The "straight G" Kennedy proof





The Franklin 1956 proof Type 1





The Franklin is still in the proof set.
‐-----------------------------
1956 Proof Set
1964 Proof Kennedy BU

Cost for both= $65

    The type 1 is a nice find, I don't know about the 64

    Collector, occasional seller

    ThankYou! About the "Straight G". I'm fairly new to this variety myself. Just sought out for them today. I found one on my very first day! :)

    Where’d you pick them up? I’m surprised the Type 1 was still waiting on the packaging for you.
    Nice pickup.

    Yep. Just cut the coins out. The Frankie looks amazing! Maybe a PF 68?
    Thanks ;)
    Every coin in the '56 Pf. set has a variety potential.

    Thanks RickO. Yeah, about the Jefferson. I only checked because the CPG showed that area with serifs. It looks like mine has those in the same spots?

    Mine

    V.V.

    I picked these at my favorite LCS. Thanks. I can honestly say more than 50% of my Cherry picks were from her shop. And she knows this. Do many favors for her and occasionally I bear gifts (chocolates). Lol.
    Thanks

    Don’t give up the gold mine, as a cherry picker never tell where you are mining. Some time small pic like this can lead to big picks. To some one with more knowledge will go into a location you picked and come out with big picks just because they are armed with just that more knowledge. But that is just me dumb Type2 thinking,
    Be safe every one.

    Nice picks not a real big one but still a pick will sharpen your skills as a picker.



    Hoard the keys.

    Absolutely agree. I live in the middle of nowhere and therefore I cherry-pick eBay. Different type of skill but a skill nonetheless 😉
