I don't know, something seems fishy about it. The coin clearly has many rim dents, scratches (Kennedy's hair, neck, and cheek), and potential defective planchet with holes in the fields, jaw, nose, and neck (don't look like circulation gouges to me). It is well-circulated and highly unlikely to be out of a mint set (planchet defectives alone would rule it out). The only way I know that isn't pure AT that causes cracking like that is mint set toning. If this was mint set toning someone decided (say an heir) that they would open the cellophane set and spend the money. Conceivable for sure but I would have a hard time believing that it circulated for as long as it did with that toning. Plenty of non-coin people would have liked it and kept it. What I find much more conceivable is someone saw all the defects and decided to try and camouflage them or decided to do a science experiment. Given the amount of coins graders see in a day and knowing that cracked, toned coins can come out of 40 and 50s mint sets I think it got a pass without a more detailed look. Nothing wrong with spending the money it went for knowing that there is a decent probability it is AT, if one enjoys it. If someone spent that money thinking that it was slabbed so it was safe, they fell into a belief that coin doctors bank on.
@mtn_scout, the coin almost certainly came from being long term in a bag where it was in contact with the fabric or else it was an "end roll" coin for a long time.

Even assuming the coin got a pass (I wouldn't, but that's just me), this coin didn't come out of a "40 and 50s" mint set.

Lucky you didn’t get buried in this coin. Graded accurately and way too low to be worth this kind of money. I would say you’re the actual winner of the auction.
I’d be happy to buy one for less but no one is offering anything. I’ve tried want to buy posts and those have gone mostly unanswered. The few times I’ve seen something as nice as this Kennedy, the seller wants even more.
I have a few toned coins mostly bought years ago but I don't actively seek them out. I have been hearing or reading for years now how the toned market is over-priced. However, they just keep going and some increasing. Is it a bubble that is going to burst? Possibly and could be next up, but so far it is not giving any indication of it.
It could burst as can any market. The coins with great color and eye appeal will always be desired by enough collectors to keep the market viable. The coins with just a little color or neutral color that have seen a recent bump will likely be the first to crater.
It might be just as accurate to say “The color-free coins that have seen a recent bump will likely be the first to crater.”

It’s a perfectly nice coin that used to sell for around guide/sheet or a small premium over that. Lately I’ve seen them go for more than that. I’d expect a coin like that to drop its premium quicker than a high end full coverage toner.
@Maywood said: @mtn_scout, the coin almost certainly came from being long term in a bag where it was in contact with the fabric or else it was an "end roll" coin for a long time.
The bag explanation would explain the color but not the cracking. The only source of natural cracking that I know of happens on some mint sets of the 40s and 50s (maybe early 60s not sure) This coin does not fit that into that category of cracking. Looking at the close up of the true view on the pcgs site shows a LOT of imperfections.
@Maywood said:
Some of the comments strike me as odd. This is exactly the kind of coin that, if shown as something just returned from PCGS, would have members stating how lovely it is and congratulating the submitter. My hunch is that the response to the negative is due to the price.

The color isn't close to the MS 63. I'd skip this coin every time regardless of grade (I'd buy it if it was priced low enough to resell but not for my collection).
In my photo editor there is an auto-level adjustment that can be made to photos if the operator doesn;t have the settings set accurately on his camera with the existing lighting used. I use it all the time only if it makes adjustments to the coin the way I see it is hand. So....I'll take coins posted in a thread to see what the AUTO-LEVEL will do to those coins. Most of the time, minor adjustments occur with what i test, to see what happens. I have learned from my own faults and experiences, coins that turn dark, the brightness and contrast have been messed with. So....without further ado, here are the adjustments. You'll need to jump back and forth to compare the original photos with the adJusted AUTO-LEVEL photos I posted.

And that’s where we differ. The grade means little to me if the color isn’t there. I realize the higher grade has a higher guide value; I’m perfectly fine with the price it brought at auction but I’d only be interested if it went for enough under guide to resell since it wouldn’t fit in my collection.

I thought the label was a bit light, the GC pic. I hit the Auto-level in my photo editor on both photos, GC and TreView and one become much darker than the other.
The more qualities observed in a coin, the more desirable that coin becomes!
So here are the three slabs.
Left the adjusted photo, Center the one from pcgs museum of holders, Right GC.
On my screen:
The Left adjusted still appears off with the label to blue (dark) and almost missing the white at bottom of label (Note: the slab looks a little bit like the older slabs with the purple hue). So does this mean the coin is to dark?
The Right GC the label also appears off and the blue to light. So does this mean the coin is to light?
This might imply that the TV is the closest to correct color on the coin since it is a little darker than the GC.
Or not?
I am guessing it looks something between the TV and GC. If GC photos were that much off I think they might have many more unhappy buyers and correct it.
I can not say why the GC photo turned darker than the TV photo. I've only suggested the brightness and contrast may have been messed which can easily be done with a photo editor. There is less change to the TV which suggests their depiction of the coin is more accurate

I was the underbidder again on this coin. It was sitting at 297 and I was hopeful it would sell for less this time. But it was not meant to be; my bid of 477.77 was not enough as someone else went at least an increment higher to take it at 487.77 (548.74 with the fee). So a year and three months later, the coin ended up bringing about $40 more. I wonder if it shows up again within a year.
For about the same price, I picked up this same date PCGS-MS67 Kennedy at the Legend auction last week.
Really a cool colorful Kennedy in hand. Pics don’t do it justice.
An “Everest” sticker as well - anyone know what the asking price on this coin was originally by Mr. Tomaska? If memory serves me right, it was “strong”.

That looks fairly nice. I’ve been skeptical of Legend photos lately after picking up a few coins where the photo turned out to be too enhanced (coin looked worse in hand).
As far as Tonaska’s price, I’m certain it was strong (his prices always are).
If I am going to pay crazy money for color, I want it to look like this.
My "crazy money" was that I paid the MS-64 price for a piece that was in an MS-63 holder. At the time, that was about $50.

Regarding nice color Kennedy 50C paying dividends - I was at the Long Beach show (20-25 years ago) when the 1964-D came “walking up” to the dealer’s table priced at a silly $300 or $400 as an MS66. Not too long ago, it fetched around $25,000.00 as an upgraded MS68.
