Yet another pleasing submission result.:-)

If this keeps happening, I may have to stop griping about PCGS.

Don't you have enough halves by now? Good going.

Russ

Can never have enough. More submissions already in.

Think of the death and slaughter of those poor 1964 proof sets. There must be corpses around your feet.

Nice job on those. I gotta admit it's a thrill to find a set with an AH half in it.

Russ

BTW, Line #1 is this coin:



But for a tiny hairline on his jaw, and a couple minor shield dings, it would have made 68.

What do you do with all those mutilated sets you've taken the Kennedy from? And we need a pic of that PR64 when you get it back.

Steve27

Very nice, what were you expecting the PR64 to be?

I don't know, I have been getting stuck on the PR68DCAMs on my halves... Latest..

Steve,

I have PR68 in my notes on that one. I must have missed some nasty hairlining somewhere. I'll check it when it gets back. It was a "ringer" coin anyway. It has a light cameo contrast, but not enough to make the designation, so I included it as a comparison piece to help encourage the CAM designation for lines 1 and 2.

Russ, NCNE

Blade

Russ,
Maybe it's not PCGS but you're just getting better at this! I really like your idea of including a borderline coin to push the others over. Nice strategy.

Steve27

Russ,

That's what I thought, but I also thought that there was a possibility that they might have missed the AH designation. (I have an AH in a PCGS slab without the designation, thankfully I wasn't the submitter.)

Russ

Steve,

That actually happened to me once. Submission result posted and they forgot the designation on an AH. I called them and they caught it before it shipped, and corrected it.

Russ, NCNE

DHeath

Nice AH. The PR67 Cam is tough. Whoever makes the first 66+ AH Dcam has to buy the beer.

Russ

Don,

I have one in right now that will make 66.....
























CAM.

Russ, NCNE

braddick

Great finds/results! Those AH's are cool coins.

gmarguli

What service level? Modern or Economy?

Just curious since I have a couple of invoices in there that arrived a few days later.

Russ

Greg,

This was economy. Had another economy that arrived on the same day that posted last Friday (20th). They seem to be pretty quick right now.

Russ, NCNE

gmarguli

Cool! Should only be a few more days for me. I've got some nice Lincolns in there.

ClarkOfKent

Russ,

That AH PR67CA is absolutely gorgeous. I got a numiswoody!

So Russ, what do you do with the other coins in the 64 sets you slice'n'dice? If you have any "extras" that are cameo'd I might be interested, especially in the Jeffersons.

Russ

Robert,

I put them in plastic tubes and sell them on eBay. I did pull four Roosies once because they reached out, grabbed me and said "WE ARE WOW COINS!" and sent them in for grading, but other than that whatever cameos (and, there have actually been quite a few) there are end up being a pleasant surprise for whomever buys the rolls. I really don't have the desire to pay much attention to any of the coins besides the Kennedys.
