I have been looking for a 1982-P Kennedy half in a PCGS MS66 slab and I bid high on this one but I didn't get it. I am surprised it went for that much, how about you?
As you know these are hard to find even with the designer's initials. This is a very clean coin and must be among the finest even if the strike isn't 100%.
They sure are hard to find. I have been through about ten rolls from different sources and most of the coins are marked up, are soft strikes and have no luster.
I prefer just a regular MS66 not a "no FG" but I went for the "no FG" because it was there and I haven't been able to find a regular MS66 in 12 months of looking.

I bid $475 on it but it ended up going at $500, who knows how high the ultimate buyer would have went....
Frankly, I think that coin was a rip at $500. The regular is hard enough to find in MS66 condition, the No FG is downright impossible. Most of them have terrible surfaces, very mushy strikes and are bagmarked to death.
I've got the no FG coin (anacs 65 that's easily a PCGS 66), but would like to find an ordinary coin. I have a few in the drawer that are good candidates, and one in my set that'll never be submitted. It's time to submit the others.

the one in the teletrade auction is designated as mint error no fg. anacs and ngc will designate it with the breen # which i can't recall right now. This is the first pcgs 82 P i have seen designated. What i am wondering is if the submitter submitted it as a mint error and that is why they designated it.
My 1982(p) in my MS Kennedy variety Registry set is a PCGS-MS67 NO FG (only one I have ever heard of thus far from that pop 6). One day, I would not be surprised if the coin found itself as a variety in the Kennedy Registry. I agree that the buyer got a nice deal on an MS66 specimen at $550 with buyers fee.

I'm assuming PCGS holdered that one as an error.
