Question for Kennedy Collectors

Typetone

My 12 year old son, Justin, is thinking about putting together a raw set of BU Kennedy halves in a Dansco album. It would be mint state and proof. Does anyone have an idea of about how much it would cost to do the set assuming decent BU pieces. Thank you for your help.

Greg,

Shouldn't be too pricey considering the present state of affairs on ebay.

I'll tell you what I'll do -

PM me with your (his) address - and I'll start him off with a nice BU 1964 JFK.

Who else will chip in?

Thanks Dan. PM sent.

I would be remiss if I did not mention that I have such a set for sale. 64 to current - all MS, SMS and proof coins comprised entirely from mint and proof sets, with the exception of the 82 and 83 P&D. It is in an Intercept Shield Album, and includes the Silver proofs from 92 on as well.

I would also be remiss if I did not mention that many of the proofs and silver proofs are very striking cameos.

Did I mention I have this set for sale for $550.00 delivered?

I guess I should probably mention that if you don't want to buy it, I'll chip in a 66, 67 or 69 whichever you need. These have been sitting in brown Whitman envelopes for 35-40 years.

Did I mention I have about 100 unc Kennedy's sitting in these envelopes for nearly forty years?

Did I mention they are for sale?

I must have mentioned they are primarily 1964's.

I could also through in a nice unc Bicentennial Kennedy, from the original bank rolls I have of these which might be developing some end roll toning.

Thus rolls, by the way, are also for sale.

Let me know if I missed anything.

Frank.... You mentioned it now. LMAO

$550 is a great price. I think bid on the complete set w/o the 98 matte coin is $635.

I would think that if your son is buying the coins individually the set will cost at least $700. I think it would be a fun set for someone just starting out because there are so many coins and none of them are that hard to find. A great way to learn about how to put a collection together.

If he decides to go with it PM me and I'll send him a few to get him started.

Thank you everyone for all the input. Seems like $600 to $750 will be the range for the set. I'll let everyone know what he decides to do and how he progresses.

SarasotaFrank:

Thank you for the offer of the entire set. It seems like a good price. However, I think part of the fun for Justin would be to build the set gradually. In any event, I don't think he has $550. Or, if he does, something is going on I don't know about

To all:

Thank you for the offer of a coin to start. I really didn't want this thread to be fishing for free coins. Still, Justin appreciates the getting started offers, and PMs are sent. Hopefully he will follow your examples, and help new collectors as he progresses in the hobby. If anyone has nice BU pieces to sell, PM me with a list of dates and prices. I'll let Justin go through them and decide what he wants to order.

Cheers

Obviously a very smart young man.
