  • Looking good. Dan said to ship the item listed on line 4 to me, so let me PM you my addressimageimage
  • Congrat's Russ...

    Now if you would only move to the MS side...

    Rusty.
  • BUAH!

    Kinda eases the sting of having been royally screwed on ebay. image
  • Sorry DanC, being "royally screwed on Ebay" does NOT include a dinky $30 Proof Set you carved up like Thanksgiving turkey.

    Good submission Russ!

    Russ how many 64 jfk's do you have?
  • Well DCAMFranklin - we all have our opinions don't we?

    Nice shot. Dan, congrats on a nice find too. You boys might just create a disturbance in the force!image

  • Thanks Don. image

    As a proof set the seller got a good deal too - so all's well that ends well.
    I'll be selling this coin soon though. I can just smell an AH DCAM out there.... somewhere. image
  • Nice Results Russ, did any of these go to NCS prior to submission??

    I'm sure most of you won't believe me, but I know a very honest and reliable fellow numismatist(board member also) who told me a year ago about a hoard of proof sets that date back to 1950's to date, every year they have been issued in that time frame. Well, he had the opportunity(from close friend) to look at some of the coins, of which there were at least 20 DCAM AH Kennedy's in the group of 1964 sets, many that would grade 68-69 DCAM. I have yet to find any reason to refute his account of what was there or had any other reasons to doubt him. Just thought I would throw that out, like I said, most people probably will think I'm full of it as usual.image

    Andy,

    Nope, none of these needed that level of conservation.

    BTW, line #2 is the coin in my signature.

  • Thanks Russ, you really go through the 64 proof sets don't you.

    I recently finished and will update(soon as the coins arrive) my Kennedy registry set with just a couple of coins that need replacing(already have one of those on the way too image ) I've found that since I have had most of the coins for 4-5 years, 6 or 7 of them have developed a light haze from a light wipe or dip(man I hate that, why do dealers have to dip modern proofs anyway? ) and they will be replaced. The toughest to find so far in the clads IMO with a DCAM +++ and white is the 1990 and 1991 coins. A large majority of them are toned that golden-yellow, not the usual golden-brown, that DCAM Kennedys can take on and do not have really nice frost.
  • Andy,



    << <i>there were at least 20 DCAM AH Kennedy's in the group of 1964 sets >>



    May I have his address and telephone number please? image

    Well Russ congrats on the great submission, and curses to you for getting me hooked on those Kennedy things. image

    The submission I'm REALLY waiting for is the next number in the series. It has a nicely cameo'd Accented Hair on it.image It arrived on the same day as this one but, of course, since I want the results BAD, it isn't done yet.

    Russ, NCNE
