While at a gunshow yesterday, there was a coin table, lots of coins - proof sets, uncircs, 2x2's etc.....Morgans, ASE's and even some gold. I asked to see his older proof sets, and scored a 1964 proof set with an Accented Hair Kennedy for $20....still in original mint cello..... not bad at all. Cheers, RickO

    So what ELSE did you buy image

    It's interesting that you will see guns at coin shows and coins at gun shows. I've never bought a coin at a gun show, or a gun at a coin show. I have contemplated the latter.

    Even easier: look at the bottom left serif on the 'I' in 'LIBERTY'. It is broken on the accented hair variety.

    Are the ripples at on the neck a diagnostic as well?

    Does the set also have a Pointed 9 dime in it ? I'm surprised that Dimeman didn't already ask. imageimage

    No. Those are part of the Kennedy Design for all 1964 coins.
    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!
