Whoah! This doesn't happen too often!

Two NGC MS67UCAM 1965 SMS Kennedys listed on eBay at the same time!

One from R&I with a BIN of $5500.

And, one from Skytyr2 with a BIN of $3555.

That's half the entire pop of these pups! Anybody have a spare $8855 laying around? You could practically corner the market with two mouse clicks.

Russ, Why not buy them yourself......

I just checked my dresser and I'm about $8854 short.

What do you think the chances are of getting them crossed (at ANY grade) with the DCAM designation? I bet less than 10-20% if my experience trying to cross DCAM SMS cents is any indication - even when they came from R & I AND they (R & I) said they were "killer", etc.

Come on...... High grade NGC coins are worth it......

Hard to say without actually seeing them in hand. I can say that NGC has tightened considerably on these over the last three months, so if they're graded during that period, the odds would be better than in the past. Besides, even in the case of the R&I coin, the BINs are substantially less than the market value of a PCGS MS67DCAM.

I'll believe they are worth that kind of dough when people start bidding on them.

Those two 1965 Kennedies NGC 67DCAM's / UCam's are super... wish I could get one - especially R&I's coin. Nicest I've seen.

If no one else sees these, your single bids could steal these for $8033. Both seem nice; maybe R&I's is a little nicer. Maybe it's the photo. Both are relatively newer gradings. So here's the question: would you pay a 50% premium for the R&I coin?

Joe,

Did you notice your favorite dealer has a nice NGC SMS Kennedy listed? Stay away! It's on my snipe list!

The last time R&I had one at this level listed on eBay:



The MS67CAM that's circled is one I had listed at the same time.

Russ,
The letter 'D' before the cameo designation makes that kind of difference?

I wonder if R&I will buy the $3,555 one

With these it does. The 1965 SMS is the toughest in the series for deep cameo. Only 28 have received the designation in any grade at PCGS. At NGC only a total of 13 in any grade have been granted the UCAM designation. The 1966 isn't much easier, with only a total of 33 at PCGS, and 23 at NGC.

The fields on both coins look a little hazy (compared to a DCAM 1967 SMS half). For those cameo nuts with grande cajones, buy both coins, crack them out of the slabs, give them a bath to see if you can improve the appearance of the fields and resubmit them (LOL). Any takers?

By the way does anyone think the differences in the $10,000.00 price of R&I for a previously listed 1965 DCAM SMS and the price for the R&I 1965 DCAM SMS half currently listed are justified? If so why?
