It's not too often I get an upgrade for my registry set so I thought I would share my new purchase with the group. thanks to DRG for hooking me up with this gem for my registry set.

Great looking Kennedy and nice photo.

would it 68 w/o the small hit on the shield? Nice how you captured that luster!

That's just what I was wondering. The obverse sure looks clean.

rlawsha

Yeah, that little hit on the shield is probably keeping it out of a higer holder. At least that's what I think. But, if it was in an MS-68 I probably couldn't afford it!

Now, if I could only find a 1982-P in MS-66 or higher I would really be happy. While working on this registry set for the last year, the 1982-P Kennedy in MS66 or higher has been the toughest coin to find so far. The best I have been able to find is an MS-65 example. Any yes, I have submitted quite a few to PCGS, scoured eBay, Teletrade, Heritage, the usual....... The POPS say they should be out there: 71 in MS-66 or higher. while that is not a lot of coins, you would think I would see one in a year's worth of looking.

Coins like this can make even the dead president designs look great!

A few weeks ago I sold an NGC 64 1964-D with a reverse just about as nice as this '82-D, and maybe even slightly nicer. Unfortunately the obverse had a fair number of deep hits. The reverse was easily 66 if not 67, though. I'm glad I didn't pull it out of a BU roll, reverse first, thinking I had something special and then feeling let down when I flipped it over...

Wow!! That's pretty darn nice for a coin that didn't come out of a regular mint set.

Tough coin, and nice find.

"Sweet"!!!!!!


Edited to add this MS-67 I won last night from peacoc*coins:

That is far and away the nicest 82-d Kennedy I've seen. Quite cool!

Although it is interesting to see that even an ms67 Kennedy can have a big flaw like that on the shield. I've seen others too, but that is the type of thing where pcgs could just decide at a whim, lets not give ms67 anymore to Kennedy's with hits on the shield. I sent a 82-p to pcgs (on your behalf rlawsha!) that I thought would grade ms66, and it got ms64. It's not as nice as your 82-d, but clearly a small hit on the shield was the only reason for less than gem.

Rlawsha,

I put an 82-P in PCGS 66 back in Feb, but I didn't like the coin. I'm still looking for my keeper.

rlawsha

Thanks for submitting on my behalf Haletj, I appreciate it! It seems all I can get out of PCGS right now are MS64's & MS65's. I'll get an MS66 out of a quarter once in a while from 1982 or 1983 but the halves are tough. All the rolls (halves) I have looked through so far pan out at around MS63 or MS64. The souvenir sets can be anyware from MS62 to MS65. The put together sets usually are a little bit lower quality than the souvenir sets but once in a great while you can pull a reall nice looking coin out of a set.

Here's my MS67 Kennedy (even though it's in a 66 holder):

Very nice! I like it.

There are some nice looking coins in this thread.

I intend to get a camera in the spring so I can play too.

I just sold an MS67 Kennedy on eBay for a bit less than I thought it would go for.....even posted on BST boards.here's the auction
Unfortunately, I don't have any other pics of the coin, since once it sold, I deleted them! It was a very clean coin on both sides.
