    I think "Bob" has been snorting some fun powder.

    The BS story is worth more than the set. image

    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    might just be the cello but it looks like it has plenty of 'milk' spots.


    Not saying it is real but has a 90% Silver 1965 Kennedy ever been found before ?

    OK, so what does a '65 sms set weigh, and how much over would it have to be to be silver. What if the weight comes out to be halfway between these two numbers?image

    No. I think the seller is full of crap. There are plenty of these where it is difficult enough to see the clad layer, even when out of the plastic. If graded by a reputable service, it would sell for retirement money. Why is it still in the set?

    I think after the weight comes out, you will find out it's a regular SMS.

    More than likely....that's why I emailed him and am going home tonight and weighing the one I have at home for comparison.

    Oh boy and instead of getting this uber rarity slabbed, he's passing this deal of a lifetime onto some "lucky" buyer.

    "The seller ended this listing early because the item is no longer available for sale."

    Ok, which one of you bought it ???




  • eyoung429eyoung429 Posts: 6,374 ✭
    Neither......seller wouldn't come through with pics of the 3rd side nor the weight of the coin. I think he got scared of Marty and I hitting him with the questions.
