I got my 2005 Kennedys today.

HORRIBLE!!!

The best ones are at most MS64. The D mint ones look to be milk spotted. It does not come off with acetone!

    I was thinking of getting some, but after what happened last year (bags), I have been delaying.
    btw....what happened last year is they sucked! The P mints were all baggy to he ll .

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    Mine aren't here yet. I think they are getting another few turns in the rock polisher.

  • I got rolls and both mints look like they laid them on asphalt and ran over them!

    Are they marked up from planchets or from contact? I am wondering if they are not using banged up planchets from last year.

    Can you send rolls back after they've been opened?

    Well that just means that the higher grades will be more money. Last year, hunting nice 2004 kennedy halves was easy. There are 67's everywhere. But this year should be more fun

    The 04p's in 67 are not easy to find. The 05 p's will be tougher imho. The 05 d's again will be plentiful in 67 based on my observation. Went to my local dealer today and opened several Mint wrapped rolls.......I'm glad I bought the bags.

    Bought two bags.

    2005-Ps are really beat up. Nothing better than MS66 at best.

    2005-Ds about like last year, found a couple that should make MS67.

    That's all I plan to buy this year unless a real low mintage.

    Your are much better than mine. I thought I had a no more than half a dozen MS64s between two rolls.
