I was perusing the DLRC site and came across this Kennedy Half which recently sold in a DLRC Auction.

Can anybody figure out why this sold for $201.25?
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.



The name is LEE!

    Maybe someone recognized it as an SMS?

    They only give me 4's for coins that look like that. Silver stuff is hot maybe silver eagle crossover newbies?

    I suppose it could be possible but I would expect an MS66 SMS to have a bit better presentation!

    That "doo-dah" above his ear also has me wondering about the MS66 grade? I suppose it could be on the slab but it sure looks like a dimple.

    It takes two people to bid up the price that high not just one newbie

    zmaybe there was a reserve at $200 or shill bidding? 2 people wanting that coin would surely be surprising as it's worth about $50 if it were properly graded.

    It's not an SMS

    It's not the FS-102, or the FS-801. Looking at the enlarged photos on DLRC's site, I don't see any doubling on either the obverse or reverse.
