    Great looking high grade proof like Kennedys. Did you get them raw or already graded? I happened to be watching those two goofy brothers on that Coin Vault show, and they were making a pitch about the Rocketship set having PL Kennedys, so I ordered 10 sets from the Mint, at I believe $9.95 each. So those original sets are still sealed in original Mint packaging and box. Thanks for showing yours. Zack.

    I also have two more of these Rocket ship Kennedys.
    One is in ms65 pl and the other is in ms66 pl.
    If and when I can locate a coin in ms66+ pl, I will post them to stay within the three coin requirement set by the op.

    Kennedys are my quest...

    There are quite a few “special” coins that were struck at the various mints throughout history- think 38-O half dollar, 94-S dime, 93-CC Morgan, that may or may not have surviving documentation to explain the who, what, when, where and why they were struck.

    The Morgan dollar series itself has at least 8 of these issues.

    Depending on the grading service (and even within the same grading service) they can be designated PR (proof), SP (specimen or special strike), or BM (branch mint).

    There are some numismatic “experts” who belittle these for lacking documentation and not being struck on a medal press at Philadelphia, and therefore “can’t be true proofs” yada yada yada- who cares, I say!

    They are clearly special, and different from routine business strikes- they were struck on specially prepared planchets, with freshly polished dies, and were set aside and cared for after striking as evidenced by their beautiful condition over 100 years later.

    They are exotic, rare, unusual, and beautiful- and I love each and every one of them!

    .

    I think I know who that "expert" is that you refer to. It might be the same person that I have had disagreements with in the past. I agree that these are special coins, regardless.

    Is it known if these were struck AT the actual branch mints ? In those days, the Philadelphia Mint would fabricate the dies and the mint marks were punched in Philadelphia. Could some of these have actually been minted in Philadelphia before the dies were sent out to the branch mints ?

    That’s a great question and certainly possible- just like the 1838-O’s, were they made in Philly or New Orleans?

    US medals

    .

    That 1889 Consolidated Kansas City Smelting & Refining Co medal (HK-731) is quite scarce from my experience.
    While not specifically a "Colorado" medal, the company did process a lot of ore from Colorado, and it is possible that the medals were made from Colorado silver.

    I don't know much about the other two.

    I believe this is more likely than many think. They likely would have been documented as an extra Proof die pair, and counted in the Proof production of the year. No one would be able to tell the difference from there.

    The 1898 proof looks overgraded, IMO.

    Please correct me if I'm wrong here, but the 1898 proof looks like it was lightly wiped across Liberty's face, leaving hairlines on her lower face. There's also a hit on the wreath as well.

    The face lines are die polish and the "hit" looks like a strike thru.

    A PR69 for a 1898 does not equate to a PR69 from today.
