Kennedy Proof.....NT or AT?...what about DDO? added pic's

coinsarefun

I have my thoughts......now I want yours


BTW....it is NOT in a slab. I only used it to take an image.










Added pic's

I was looking at the DDO's for this year and they are not dramatic is it?

MilkmanDan

Colors and progression look ok to me, it's the bubbly looking tone on the left side obverse that doesn't look right to me.

LindeDad

Either or I still don't care for it.
But I am not into proofs that much any more.

braddick

I say, "no".
The rims give it away.

Bochiman

I would not pay any premium for it as I wouldn't buy it as NT.

The colors don't look "right", I don't like the left obv portions, and the rims, as Pat mentions, don't look right to me for the coloring.

ModCrewman

The left obverse rims cause me pause...but my initial instinct was NT.

I think its NT , I have seen a lot of kennedy halfs in those "the presidents sets" tone that way. The sets usually had a 40% half and the other coins were clad and they were all in a single piece of heavy cardstock sealed with cellophane

Here is one ebay listing

The cardboard in these will even turn the clad quarters purple.

The kennedys in these sets aren't always uncirculated though some appear to be polished

AT, I agree the obverse toning looks wrong.

stealer

Not MA.

You can see where the painting stops on the rims and the doctor switched colors

Acceptable NT

Pokermandude

NT in my opinion. Proofs tone quite a bit differently than MS coins.

Gotta go with the AT crowd

Dipped and put away without a good rinse.

Looks MA to me.

Dipped and put away without a good rinse.

This makes the most sense to me.

So, a dipped coin is AT?

I was confused about that statement as well.

AT, The little bubbles of blue above the L on the obverse just don't look right!

Coppercolor

Too lousy to be AT, a doctor would not have stopped with this amount of toning. Most of the major fako jobs are fully toned. Besides it's in keeping with a lot of other toned proofs of the era.

Whether or not PCGS would grade it or not is another question.

Not seeing anything to believe it is a DDO. Sorry

You must start somewhere. Maybe a doctor in training is "perfecting his art."

Agreed.

Yes, I believe toning introduced by a chemical bath is artificial toning. If the chemical bath had NOT caused toning the un-toned coin would, by definition, not be artificially toned.

Here's what it looks like on a 71.

Hey Stef.
It looks like a DDO, but is also AT
Like Pat said, the rims are a dead give away.
