Proof 1964 pointed 9 value.

This didn't get any response to my post on the prior thread, - - - - -

So what is a raw PF65 - 1964 pointed 9 worth?

Russ

No idea, I just pop them in to the rolls I liquidate on eBay. So, if anybody who's bought one of these rolls from me is reading this, you have some pointed 9 dimes.

I just sold one on ebay for 25 cents! I have no idea what they are really worth either. I just let the market decide. I'd be interested in finding out if there is a premium for this piece.

Thought I would bring this back to the front page.

My small sampling of 30 pieces yielded 25 blunt 9 coins and 5 pointed 9 pieces.
It would appear the pointed 9 pieces are not that difficult to find and are probably not worth any premium as a variety. Besides, I have only encountered one person who was searching for both types and it was for Uncs and not Proofs.

If you are talking about the thread I'm thinking about, I believe Russ and whoever it was stated they were merely seeking proof sets with pointed 9s because they usually contain an AH Kennedy. They didn't give a hoot about the dime.

I am curious if a pointed nine guarantees a AH Kennedy. Can anybody else (Russ already posted his experiences) offer an opinion on that. I that your experience too, or is it about as common as the Type 1 and Type 2 coin mix in the 1979 proof set(s)?

I wish this could have come up earlier when a dealer I know had about three boxes of '64 PS in is inventory.

Gilbert,

You are correct. Neither of us cares squat about pointed nines.

We don't believe that it "guarantees" an AH - but thus far, with real (not phony) pointed nines - we're batting 1000.
After having perused countless '64 sets now, I've come to the conclusion there are very few to be had from dealers, although there's certainly exceptions to every rule.

I got an AH from a set that did not have the pointed nine, but haven't seen a pointed nine without an AH. Could just be the luck of the draw, I'm sure they didn't plan it. If I run across one, I'll send it to you.
