    Awsome coins. The 1967 looks like a lock DCAM, though I have no clue what the grade would be. The 1968 looks to me to be a 69DCAM or maybe even a 70DCAM (Iseem to recall there being a 68 that has graded 70DCAM).

    Where did you find the two coins [local shop, coins show, internet, flea market, private sale]?

    Ken, glad you are poaching cameos back east. Please leave the Western U.S.A. alone. LOL

    Let me be the first to say:

    YOU SUCK!

    P.S. The 1968 is quite exceptional I think.

    Is that a reflection of a big grin I see in the mirrors?

    Awesome. That 68 is a work of art.

    Those are good 2 examples why I DON'T collect Kennedy Halves.

    I've seen 60 - 70 just like them in the last 9 months for $5 - $8 at different comic, trading card and coin shows in my area.

    The 20 - 30 I purchased it took too long to get that haze off of Kenndey's face. It was especially hard to get that haze off the Eagle's on the back.

    FYI if you find it as hard as I did to remove that ugly haze what works for me is a stiff wire brush and that acid for cleaning swimming pools.

    One other bit of advice. If you don't want the fumes to linger in your trailer as I didn't, though after awhile .... That's a different thread ... Do it outdoors ...

    Ken, I like the holder that the 1968 came in.

    Makes you wonder what the seller was thinking when he put the coin in the cardboard holder and marked it $5.00 [maybe he does not know about cameos; or better yet knows of them but does not view them to be any different from a brilliant proof].

    I would pay $5.00 for it [I am curious of you if the seller cut you a deal and dropped his price by 10% to $4.50].

    Russ scares me.

    Marty scares me.

    Ken is really starting to scare me. Wonderful coins, Ken. Did the seller see that little grin you get when you stumble on a beauty? You did pretty good for a 10 table show.image
