Found this pretty cool raw toned 1964 Kennedy half dollar at a local coin shop. Sure was glad I went thru the extra trays off to the side. Not too shabby for 25 bucks and who knows, I may get it graded one day. I'm leaning NT for this coin based on what I've seen in the past.

I like the look. How close is the top half to terminal toning?
Thats a crazy color pallet. Fun find.

Looks like an Easter egg.
For $25 its nice. A little dark for me, but still a decent coin.

That’s a very attractive Kennedy 👌
Don't underestimate the value of a toned 64 kennedy. I paid the then-lofty sum of $30 or 35 for a raw 2-sided toner on ebay some years back and then had the audacity to have it graded. (66) did well enough on GC that it didn't cost me any seller fees.
Gives hope to us all that there are still these types of finds still out there. Very nice.
nice coin i like
very nice looking coin. great find.
you took a great photo too. The more I look at the more I like it.
Sweet! And natural tone. Those splotchy patterns on the obverse are obviously the result of where the coin contacted the canvas bag during storage. I've seen plenty of similar Morgans over the years.
That's $5.00 under spot. Great deal!
I like her.
It's pretty close to that, the luster up there is muted more but it's not flat and dull. The toning patterns do look like canvas bag, but fingerprints are a part of it too. They blend in well though.

Nice! It’s a sweet coin.
They have 0.36169 troy ounces apiece. Close to $11 worth.

Not sure why I thought a Kennedy half was a silver dollar.
Thanks for setting me straight.

Looks like it spent some time in a potato, but it does have character.

My personal taste is it’s a little too dark. And I wouldn’t be a fan of the deep contrast in toning.
It's an interesting looking, inexpensive coin with a story. I put coins like that in Air-tites and keep them on my desk for a pleasant distraction.
