Eat Your Heart Out Marty/Russ

New Purchase from the Lemont Ill show. Maybe 15 dealers.

Nice pre-graded 64 Kennedy. PCGS just missed a minor aspect...ACCENTED HAIR. OK so it was graded before they started recognizing the variety. I had to coax the dealer down to $17.

Scans are terrible, but the coin grades 66CAM, and should be (and will be) in a 67 CAM Accented Hair holder in a few weeks.

    Neat coin, but are you sure it'll CAM? The reverse lettering looks too weak. Then again, like you warned, it could just be your scan.

    It's already in a CAM holder. PCGS PF66CAM

    Nice score! Did the dealer know what it was?

    It's more likely it was submitted with the incorrect coin number of 6800 instead of 6801. If one does that with an Accented Hair, it'll end up in a regular holder. The opposite is also true. I deliberately sent this regular in noted as an AH:

    Sure enough, they designated it!

    Russ,

    Why didn't that make a DCam or at lease a Cam?

    Russ,

    I think he was clueless...I know he was.

    He had two 64 halves in PCGS PF66CAM and was wondering why I had no interest in the other one. He wanted $17 for it, but I thought the accented hair was a little better buy.

    Always fun cherry picking. That's why we are out there looking.

  • If that's your best cherrypick of the day, then I didn't miss much. You Madmarty wannabe!image
