Dan just got this in:



Not often you see them this nice.

Pretty coin. Looks like it missed the hairlines that most are plagued by. I think Dan is well on his way. That's a keeper.

Wow!.....that sure is a beauty. Is it raw or what is it's grade????

Russ

shortdj,

It's raw right now. Just pulled from a set today.

Don,

It does have a wisp of hairlining; much less then most of these, though. But, it also has a couple nicks that are going to hurt the grade. Nonetheless, it's a mighty pretty coin.

Russ.....just gotta say it again.....You have all the luck. I would never be able to find a set that looks like that at my dealer. I guess you got to cast a bunch of lines to reel in the big fish!

Actually... I sniped it for $46 on ebay.

edit:

oh - and it was the first JFK I purchased.
Just took awhile to get here. Dealer didn't "do" plastic.

In fairness though... it was Russ who bellowed at me...
"There's a 65 and 66 SMS set for sale, right now!
bid it! bid it!

He's hovering over my shoulder - giving me all kinds of grief.
Now - bear in mind, Russ is 6' 5" tall, and rather grumpy looking.
Auctions can be exciting enough... never mind having "Mr. Intimidation" looking
over your shoulder.

Russ

I am NOT grumpy looking.

Are too

Dan, you and I just met, but I'm with Russ. If you didn't bid on it, I'd yell at you too. Nice find.
