Is color really worth this much?

Russ

1966 SMS Kennedy MS67, $1250. Normally, this is about a $30 coin.

Russ, NCNE

Placid

I would rather have this one.

LanLord

I would rather have the 1250 bucks.

Bear

In answer to you question.........YES!! but not for these JFKs, I just don't like the particular toning.
But what do I know, I'm only a little bear.

Russ

I don't really like either of them. I'm pretty sure the one that Placid linked sold in an eBay live auction (Heritage, I think) recently for around $600.

Personally, I think this one is much prettier.

I'll never know, his pics take way too long to open.

Bear

Russ - I like it, I like it. Can the coin come over to my house and play? Bear

Not to me, and I don't care if it's in a PCGS slab, it looks like AT to me.

I have figured out where the second one gets that type of stripe. I put a ASE in one of those little envelopes and made a note of it's orientation. The stripe was where the glue line of the paper was... JFYI,,,,,,, Another month sitting top the cable box and it would of looked very similar. It's just not my cup of tea though.

Russ

Bear,

It doesn't really look that good in person. Matter of fact, I think it's ugly. I'm just good with the camera.

I'm sitting some of mine out in the yard as we speak. Maybe I'll try the heat duct for the 67's.

Russ is right- those colors don't warrant the expense of the coin. R & I had a simular one with a BIN of $30.00 about a year ago I bought. If anyone knows how to price SMS Kennedies with color it's Rick.

I'd be surprised if this auction hooks anyone at all.

Works for me I just collect the pictures anyway thats all I can afford.

Bear

Placid - If you get your coin pictures slabbed, would they go up in value? Bear

Placid

I guess a frame is a slab for a picture. I just use the computer thou it makes storage easy.

Russ

Bear,

I tried that. PCGS body-bagged the picture for questionable authenticity.

Russ, NCNE

No! None of them are worth that much.

But this one is because its Mine Now - ALL MINE!

Ha HaHaHaHaHaHaaaaHaaaaa!!! He Hee Heee HeeeeeeHaaa !!! (The picture doesn't do this coin justice - the luster and iridescence are incredible) - so yes, in some cases color is worth this much.

Please excuse the outrageous display of emotion. Time to go back to drooling over MY NEW SUPER BEAUTIFUL MONSTER TONED IHC and pet the cat.

Thank you for your attention.

Placid

Nice I collected a few more pictures from that site.
This ones neat

Pushkin

This little beauty was my second choice, but alas, to save the marriage and ensure that the kids and the cat continue to eat (although maybe a little less ), only one could be had.

Save-the-Marriage and feed-the-kids and the cat

So if any of you forum members purchase this gem - please let me purrrr over it a little.

Also, just imagine what a coin with the clash of the 2 Cent piece Placid posted and the toning of one of these proof Indians might be worth - boggles my little feline mind.

Thank you for your attention.

Would that be the only copper 3c in existance?

Pushkin

Yes Airplanenut, it probably would.

But then the 3 cent series would be complete, with copper, nickel and silver (suppose an argument could be made for a gold 3 cent coin - but can you imagine how small it would be?) Would drive the vending machine manufacturers nuts! Imagine trying to find it in a slab?
