Surprise! This is not just a grading opinions please post. Rather is is a grading opinions please post plus a Secret Giveaway that only people who open the thread will know about. Attached are pics of coins from a 64 Proof Set that I picked up rather inexpensively at a Flea Market a couple of weeks ago. I recognized the Accent Hair thanks to Russ's rather informative posts on the topic but I couldn't tell if any of the coins were Cameos or not through the Hazed over cellophane. Well, today I decided to cut the coins out and take a closer look. I think that at least some of them have a shot at Cameo. The Dime may or may not be a pointed 9. All of the coins are spot free with no hairlines. I carefully rinsed each of them in Acetone and then heat-sealed them into PVC Free Safety Flips. Any lint that you see (and there is quite a bit) are on the flips, not the coins. I know that my Photography is not the best, but I would appreciate it if some of you would take the time to look at these and give me your opinions on the Grades and whether or not any of them are worth slabbing and whether or not the dime is the pointed variety (find the secret Key Hole).

Now for the Giveaway details. I will put the names of each responder before Midnight tonight into a bag and pull a name out tomorrow. The winner gets a Spot free 1964 Proof Kennedy (not accented hair) and a 1964 mint strike Kennedy that I picked up from a dealer that claimed it was a DDO West (he showed me the doubling at the coin show, but now that I have it at home I can't find the doubling) and a genuine Accent Hair Kennedy complete with big Milk Spots (not that pretty, but a nice example specimen that helped me learn to ID these things). For those who don't like the Modern stuff, I will also throw in a beat up large cent that I have had in my collection since I was a kid.

You get one chance just for responding, 2 chances if you give your opinion on whether or not the dime is pointed, 3 chances if you give opinions on the grades. Once again, all responders before midnight tonight will get their name entered into the drawing which will take place tomorrow for the 4 coins listed in the paragraph above (Spotless Non-AH 64 PF Ken, "Alleged" DDO West 64 Ken, Milk-Spotted AH 64 Ken and beat up large cent). Thanks for looking.

And the winner is----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- F117ASR . Congratulations, please PM me with your address so I can mail you the coins.

    Mr.Spud,

    submit the AH and the Jeff. The AH looks like a nice Cam in the 7 range, and the Jeff appears to be a cam in the 8 range. The Lincoln reverse is not contrasted, the Washington is generally too light, and the dime is not an expensive enough coin holdered to make it worth while. I know nothing about the pointed 9 variety, but good luck.

    Nice Kennedy.

    I think the dime is a blunt, not pointed.

    Nice coins, I don't think its a pointed nine but thats more of a guess.

    Dime appears to be a pointed 9 variety. Kennedy is 66CAM. Jefferson is 68CAM. Lincoln is 67RD. ROOSEVELT IS 69DCAM. Washington is 68.

    OK, Here goes...

    Cent PR68RD
    Nickel PR67CAM+
    Dime PR68CAM Pointed 9
    Quarter PR67
    Half PR67

    IMHO the half, and maybe the Jeff are the only ones worth submitting.

    I'd submit the Kennedy, the Jeff and the Roosevelt.

    I think it's a pointed nine also.

    Nice batch there. image

The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and it does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose."

    Dime doesn't look pointed, Kennedy looks 66CAM(ish). Jefferson is 67CAM. Lincoln is 67RB. The roosevelt looks 69Cam(Possible DCAM but it looks like kind of light frost). Washington looks 68.

    Nice pics MR.Spud. I wouldn't submit the cam AH (no need to raise the pops). Keep it for yourself in an airtite. The jeff submit and sell it. The rest just keep. The dime doesn't look like a pointed 9 dime. Nice score. Conrats

    All Look Fantastic!!! Very Nice Find!! If it was me I'd submit them all. But that's just me. I don't feel the dime is a pointed nine. Heres my thoughts on the grades:

    Lincoln - 68/69 RD
    Jeff - 68/69 CAM/DCAM
    Roosie - 68/69 CAM/DCAM
    Washington - 68/69 CAM/DCAM
    Kennedy - 68/69 CAM/DCAM

    I'm not good at grading but I love your coinsimage Lee

    The only coin I'd submit is the Accented Hair Kennedy. The others aren't worth the submission fee.

    The Roosevelt is not a Pointed 9 variety.

    Thanks for all of the responses. It looks like at least the Kennedy is worth slabbing (but to do so would adversely affect the pops image), with a strong maybe for the Jefferson and the Roosevelt (they would grade good, but not really worth the expense). I guess the dime probably isn't a pointed, although it looked like it might be. The wierd thing about the dime is it looks a bit different from a regular dime, almost like it has a notch in the bottom tip like it is doubled, but I have to believe Russ's judgement on the 9. I believe that he could ID these in his sleep by now.

    The winner of the secret giveaway is F117ASR. Congratulations!!! Please PM me with your address so I can mail the coins out to you. I'll also send you a PM to notify you that you won.
