Hey there, new guy here that found this forum while trying to do some research on some coins that my father left me a few years ago. I have 2 1964 Kennedy proof coins that I beleive after reading about them and then looking at are the transitional coins. What would their approximate values be if this is the case?

    Welcome, we need to see a pic in order to see the condition of the coin to have any idea of the value.

    Welcome aboard.

    Are you referring to the accented hair variety?

    I'm assuming you're talking about the broken ray reverse non-accented hair coin, and they're worth a small premium. Grade will matter, so it's hard to guess. If the coin is holdered, add $20 to the value. It takes a wierdo like myself to know what the coin is, but Dr.Wiles lists it as a URS-17 (501-1000 known).

    I forgot to add that it's an Ultra Cameo Proof whatever that means. Sorry for acting so dumb but i'm just getting started in this stuff.

    Murph,

    Do you have a feel for their grade? Are they holdered?

    DH.....They are in a square white plastic holder of some type there is some frosting and they are very bright and shiny? I looked at them using a magnifying glass and they both look to be very nice coins.

    And thanks to everybody for the welcomes..............

    Welcome MURPH44, I had a bunch of these. They didn't fetch any premium after the 1st few sold in the $20 range.
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    Murph,

    I don't believe any of the third-party grading services will attribute the transitional coins, but since the 64 coins command a premium in cameo or deep cameo, and since it's possible the coins have value independent of the designation, I'd suggest you consider submitting them to be graded. I would recommend PCGS, NGC, or ANACS. If you decide to sell them, include good pictures of the coins, including close-ups of the reverse. image Here's hoping they're PR69 Dcams. image

    Thanks for help, thats what i'm going to do. What do I need to do to get started on getting them graded.

    One more question, if they are the PR69 Dcams what would the value range be on them?

    In a PCGS holder, $1500 plus.

    Again, thanks so much for all the help. I just looked again and I really do think that's what I have here, these coins are going to get graded for sure.
