Thoughts on a Kennedy Proof collection..

ElyJ83 · January 6, 2011 10:31AM

My friend was needing some money and decided to sell his Kennedy Proof Collection... The years included are from 1964 to 1990. All the coins are perfect proof examples with no scratches... I purchased for $90.00 was this a bargain or should I go rip my friends head off? It is hard to turn down coins when they are right in front of my face and so shiney.... I have many other Kennedy Half Dollars but they are circulated ones collected throughout the years and figured this would be nice to add to it. Any thoughts would be appreciated... I will update a photo as soon as I get time.

Thanks,

Jason

You can't beat 27 PR70DCAM half dollars for $90!

That would be nice if they would get graded for that but they are not slabbed... :<

I guess I will have to post photos to see what everyone says

$3.50 each isn't too bad a price if they are in 2x2's or some other type of holder or album. Nice way to start off enjoying a popular series of coins.
BTW some of use on here and you will someday realize that our perceptions of perfect changes with time and experience.
At one time I had one of those sets before building a registy set of them.( Now retired)

Does it include CAM or DCAM 1965-1967 coins?

It was a fair deal all around. You bought them for about 1/2 of retail price that a dealer would charge you. Your friend got a fair deal too, about what a dealer would have paid him, IF a dealer would have even wanted them.
