Opening (2) 1971 us mint shipping boxes.....5 proof sets per box.

Anyone wants some more videos. image

Here is the first video.....Link
I found that one of the sets was improperly sealed so all of the coins are toned and
another set has a kennedy half-dollar with a strike through.

    You need to show that backs of the coins as well as the front.
    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.

    Look for the no "S" coins.

    Thanks for showing the backs.

    The 1971-S Kennedy often came with a cameo obverse but the reverse were mostly non-cam's as pointed out in Rick Tomaska's Half Dollar Book. The rare ones are the PR69DCAM coins on both obverse and reverse.

    Additionally, 1971 had literally a bunch of DDO and DDR coins. CONECA lists 18 DDO Kennedy's and 7 DDR's. Some of which are fairly dramatic.

    FS-102 (DDO-006)

    The FS-102 has some Machine Doubling on it as well:

    Which makes attribution a little tough. But the real tip off is the second 1 on the date:

    Of course, neither of these are to discount the DDO-001 FS-101 Lincoln DDO.

    Nor the No "S" Nickel of which I have none.

    The whole point being, examine your sets very carefully.
