    I wanna join, I wanna join................

    Actually, I have been intrigued by the AH Kennedy since joining this club and reading Russ' posts. I do have a basic understanding, as much as you can get from the photos. But I plan on looking for one at the Northwest Coin Show later in March. Comparing an AH Kennedy to a non-AH Kennedy up close and person, (in your own hand) is the way to really understanding I believe.
  • COOL now I see.

    Thanks

    Some of us kinda' nailed it down on the forum prior to the entry of our illustrious "Kennedy-ite," but he has no doubt attracted and educated far more since. There was a time when SUPErcoin was our resident "Modern Specialist," particularly when it came to imaging the varieties.

    I do , I do. I have found many AH Kenney's. I just can't find the good ones like Russ does.
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

  • I have been taught what to look for regarding the 1964 Accent Hair Kennedy Half. One of our client's is writing a book and is considered an expert on the coin. He is the person who convince PCGS to attribute the Accent Hair.

    But Russ is an expert as well and his work on this coin shows it.

  • I'd have to agree.. I know, but it's because of Russ's work not my own.

    Kudo's to Russ

    I know, but haven't seen a new one in a year or two since the supply dried up. So hobbiest out west started hoarding. LOL

    Thanks to Russ' fine postings I can tell those things without a lens from 4 feet away. Since there are things to look for both front and back (the back isn't a 100% guarentee but a pretty good sign), I feel very confident when looking for and picking them out of a lineup.

    In the interest of full disclosure I should tell you guys that I was talking with Rick Tomaska a couple days ago (very nice guy, BTW), and he says that the Accented Hair is a waste of money and nobody should be buying them.

    hehe.

    Nice pocket change. Funny thing is, it's a pop (NGC) 4/1 and there are two on ebay right now.

  • Speaking of which. That auction I linked shows a W coin. I thought NGC was dropping the W and using just *'s, but that seems to be in a new holder. Am I mistaken?

    2 different things.W means White where the * means SERIOUS EYE CANDY image

    The star also adds extra points to the NGC registry sets.
