Went to the litte Pasadena Show today and found a couple of nice SLQ's for my VG-F criculated set, as well as 3 toned Kennedys. I can't help but to grab these up whenever I see them. I've got a bunch of toned 64s even a couple of DDOs 64 & 64-Ds, but to find nice color on a clad Kennedy is tough. This is a 77-D, the other 2 -- 1971 and 1977. All with what appears to be Dansco toning.

Any thoughts on the grade.

    Very cool Mike - as these things get older they'll start getting some toning and get as interesting as many other silvers! image

    Wow, you guys are brutal. image Unfortunately I know better, I've got a couple like this already. The toning is very distinctive and is Dansco.

    C'mon, any guess on the grade?

    I was kidding, doof. It's very real. I've found similar from albums. It sure as hell ain't toneturd2003's work. I have some of his also.

    The lines going across the coin, is that just the picture? Or does it really look like that? If it's not just the picture, what caused it?

    Oh yeah, Michael....it looks like a 64. The hit by the left leg, and the obverse field limit the grade, but a cool looking coin.


    BTW - aren't you supposed to be hitting the books, instead of shopping.image

    I'm going to start on January 1st. I'm giving myself 30 days to become a grading God!

    I just watched Seabiscuit -- how inspiring! If that little horse can beat everyone else, why can't I win the World Series of grading! imageimage

    What does the copper band on the edge look like.

    If its not the `right` color then the coin may have been dipped.
    Sometimes dipping/stripping the skin on a clad will reveal the striations of the planchet from the
    rolling process of the stock.

    I could very well be wrong on this but if I didnt know better I,d say it was dipped and rinse with only water.
    If this is true then the grade would be about a MS62 or so.

    Dont ya just love great news like this?
