Artifically Frosted "DCAM" SMS Kennedies entering the Market

braddick

I had an insightful conversation with a Dealer who is pretty much on the inside track when it comes to most Moderns, and even more so with Kennedies.
He is seeing (and confirming) there is a hoard or two of artifically frosted Kennedies entering the market- mostly (if not all- a few PR 1969's- 1970's may also be in the batch) SMS's and mostly from 1967 in a Service's holder with super high grades attached.

He's three for three with me on information so I think it's worthy to check into this. I know I'm going to.
Just a "heads up" if you have a coin or two you've recently purchased that falls within this catagory.

Thanks for the heads-up there Braddick!

Can you mention names ? The same thing happened with Lincolns and I'm hunting the culprit.

The Dealer had no problem with this information being passed out in general terms, but did with specifics- at this time.
I may slightly disagree, but the terms of disclosure were reasonable.

When I listed my '67 En Gee Cee MS67 U/C on ebay two months ago, there were 18. I relisted today and double checked the pop which is now 21. I am seeing a lot of high end Pee Ci Eye Kennedys showing up lately.

Braddick- Did your contacts say anything about other dates? And being sold raw?

Interesting info...something to keep in mind.

You did say these were encapsulated, right?

Then what is the harm in identifying which company isn't on their Ps & Qs? The harm comes from in NOT mentioning the company; you are supposed to be safe from this kind of alteration when buying encapsulated coins, provided it is a reputable company.
