I think I just scored a decent deal on a '65 business strike JFK.

1965 business strike Kennedy in PCGS MS66. What do you guys think?

Looks pretty nice

I'm not into Kennady's but isn't that a high price.I know the MS67 would be a big price jump?

You definitely scored, and big. Unless I'm totally out of whack with what is happening with MintState Kennedies, I sold one just like yours on eBay and received close to $500.00. And, that was only last March or so.
What is surprising is I would think Jamie (Telecoin) would/should know better.

Either way, Russ! You're now entering the world of MintState!!

Russ · September 28, 2002 11:38AM

Braddick nailed it. The range is $360 to $450 on these.

Only long enough to flip it for an obscene profit and buy more proofs.

I was going to bid a dollar on that one but you beat me to it Russ

Another awesome deal, way to go Russie!

How out of whack is the PCGS price quide then? It shows the price at $62!!!. A search of teletrade shows the two most recent auctions @ $130 and $160.
$130
$160
And an absolute blazer going for $450 back in January.

Rover,

The price guide is way off on these. I just found those last two that you linked on Teletrade. Both are junk (well, the first one isn't really junk - but has some major hits in the field and portrait), and still sold for quite a bit more than I just got this one for. I'd guess market on this one is somewhere between those junk ones and that $450 one. Probably a good double.

Russ, NCNE

Rover · September 28, 2002 12:56PM

Agreed!

Ya done good.

dpoole · September 28, 2002 1:00PM

Nice one, Russ! It helps to know your series!

Go Russ!

MrLee · September 28, 2002 1:08PM

I'm not big on moderns but those Kennedy's are beautiful and you scored on that one. Congratulations.

bennybravo · September 28, 2002 2:21PM
