There are always fun to try....

Well, if they didn't BAG them then based on the luster 65 for the dime and 64 for the half.

But I will go out on a limb and say it's possible they bagged the Kennedy....sorry for the poor choice of words there.... lol

They look lower than that to me, especially the dime. 62 on the dime, 64 on the half - that's my bid.

63 and 65

dime- MS-64
half- MS-66

Dime - 64 (63 because of strike + 1 for toning)
Half - 65 (natural 65 and toning is nice but doesn't cause a bump)

Dime 64
Half 64

Dime: 66
Half: 65
Nice OBV on the dime. Weak reverse strike keeps it down. But it's better color for a 56P, which is usually mottled blue.

From the picture angle, they both look like AUs to me.

So far nobody's got them both right, but 3 hits on the dime and 1 hit on the half.

I'll see if anybody else wants to play and post the answer tomorrow.

64 on both coins!

relayer

I bought both off the same guy as original end roll toned coins.

The dime came back MS64

The half came back - Cleaned or Whizzed

I can see under an 8x now on the obverse scracthes that look liked it was scrubbed - and I don't see them on the reverse.

I wonder if the obverse was cleaned because it was too ugly or if the coin was cleaned which lead to the toning?

Did the cleaning cause the toning, or was a toned coin cleaned?
