I was awarded three points.
(1964 PCGS PO1, 1964-D PCGS FA2)
It didn't bump me up in the ratings whatsoever.

just for fun I added your two coins to my #2 lowball set using the what if function and it bumped me up by approxitmately .21 points.
I still remained at #2 and approximately 10.0 points from the #1 position.
With the costs that people are asking for these low ball coins, I will be happy to stay at #2.

Why would you have a low ball set???
Aren't most of your coins top notch?

Yes Mike on most of my coins are top notch.
When I first started to do the Kennedys, I purchased many lower end coins to make a set.
As I progressed, I got the bug to get better and higher graded coins.
I wanted a top 10 set. Done!
Well the bug turned into an addiction driving me to get a top 5 set. Done!
As you know I now have many Kennedy sets in the top 1 thru 5.
What do I do with all the lower graded coins that I will not sell?
I put them into duplicate sets and most into the low ball set.
There are few pop 1/0 coins in it along with many 70's.
I had to have a 100% complete set.
I do not pursue coins for this set, but when they show up at a decent price, I buy and add them.
It is hard to find lower graded proofs especially 2000 to present dates.

I'm in the middle of building my Kennedy half dollars with major varieties set. Almost 1/2 way done(46.86%)...
If you have duplicates, I'd love to buy missing coins in bulk!
Unfortunately, once I aquire a coin, it becomes a family member so I do not trade or sell my extras.
The Kennedy set is a great choice to complete. Best of luck in doing so.
It will take time to do so and I would reccomend that you try to put together this set in ms66 for the circulations strikes and proofs in pr70 dcams.
eBay has a lot of ms66s currently up for auction and some are offering both p and d mints in the same listing. A two for as they say.
Happy hunting.

All good! Worth a shot! It hurts to pay $4/$5 shipping on $10-$20 coins. I try to find sellers that have multiple coins so I can "bundle" and save on shipping.
Contact the seller up front and ask if they offer discount shipping on multiple items won. There are many sellers that do.
If they do, ask them to list their discount on each additional item won and then if they will allow you say 5 days to pay.
It never hurts to ask up front.
