    That's it.....I have had it with your insolence and continual modern bashing threads. Step outside and we'll settle this once and for all. A second possible solutiuon would be to send me the Half.image

    You’re right, though. That is kind of homely.

    hey marty

    that coin needs to be saved------and i'm talking seriously. having waded through countless AT and coin doctor threads, that is a prime example of what can happen naturally. i currently have a 1977-D kennedy that looks almost identical in terms of color, maybe MS64-65, but a lovely coin that looks naturally toned. i doubt seriously that PCGS would holder it. however, sent with your "still in the Cello" 1964 proof, how could they not slab them both???

    if the coin is still in the Cello, would you consider selling it individually or as a set??

    I took it out of the cello, I'm sure PCGS will slab it. But I guess maybe at a PR65 or PR64. The back is the same as the front.

    Here are two more ugly Kennedy's that PCGS has slabbed...

    That particular form of crud will not dip well. It will come off, but the mirrors and devices underneath will come out dull and lifeless.

    Clark's avatar here at the forums is one of these that he bought from me.

    Maybe, maybe not. They body-bagged one that I sent them.

    relayer- Neat coins! Your "ugly" is attractive, in some ways.
    Here's my vote for the ugliest (MintState) Kennedy of all time:
