Hi Russ, I see you have very long term knowledge in the coin hobby and wanted to ask you about Kennedy Halves Proof D/Cams.

My question to you is, has there ever been a Pr/D-cam 70 grade given to a Kennedy Half dollar from 1964 to 1970?

If there hasn't been, why in your opinion?

The reason I ask is I have searched many proof sets at coin shows, tv shows, and local mom/pop huts and most strikes are bad, some surfaces are not is so good of shape and many different die strikes,

Can you enlighten us/ms on what to look for under 10x loupe to understand what the problem really is. I love those Kennedys.image

    Yes. There is one 1969-S in PR70DCAM. There are 16 1968-S in PR70DCAM - all from the same submission. There are none for 1964-1967 or 1970.

    It would be a memorable day if a 69DCAM ever showed up.

    Heck, I'd be pleased if my 67 Cam magically turned into a 67 DCAM.
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    There are people that can polish the fields and add frost, but it might not slab after that. image

    If it was on the Bay, it may have been one of mine.

    I've trickled out over 50 of them in 67 and 68 over the last couple of years.

    I remember a few doing very poorly and had some go for as low as $22 and $24.

    Most 67s brought well over twice that, some even ridiculously high. Makes up for those few that just died.

    Good score, no matter where you got it.
    "Lenin is certainly right. There is no subtler or more severe means of overturning the existing basis of society(destroy capitalism) than to debauch the currency. 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."
    John Marnard Keynes, The Economic Consequences of the Peace, 1920, page 235ff
