and I'm afraid I gave him a boost.
Young man comes up to the table and looks in the loose leaf and asked if I had an accented hair Kennedy.
"Yep, sure do. It's on the last page."
He pulls it out inspects it. Pulls out the non-accented hair also. Studies them both.
"How can you tell the difference?"
I point out the V in the hair lines and also the differences in the I of Liberty.
He studies them some more and then replaces them.
Next day he comes back with a 1964 proof set.
"Is this one?"
"Yep, sure is."
"Wow! That's great. I paid $10 for the set. What's it worth?"
"The half alone is worth $20."
"Really?"
"Yep, nice score."
Got my thank you and off he went. Had a funny look in his eyes.
Do you think this might affect anyone else in particular?
