Selling Our Kennedy Halves Registry Sets

giorgio11

I have decided to sell all my Kennedy halves through Heritage. Most of the bigger coins will be in the September Long Beach sale. I am not getting any younger and am going to start drawing Social Security, so I have sold off everything but these coins, which were our favorite pursuit since 2007, when we bought a 1964-D in MS65 Prooflike pedigreed to Ken Bressett and the first day of issue. I have had too much money tied up in coins.



I am glad to say that I think I have always treated every customer and numismatist I have encountered equitably and fairly (even though we have had occasional disagreements). I will keep my inexpensive website and continue to offer the occasional special coin but am getting out of actively buying and selling and doing shows. That's my current thinking, and certainly backed up by Mrs. VDB! Practically every time we do a show, we both wind up exhausted and come down with a cold or bronchitis or some other crap. And we say to each other, why are we doing this? It's tough out there! Good luck to all.



Best Regards,



George

I have quite a few raw sets to let me paw through some coins when the urge strikes ... Canadian fives, Mercury dimes, some BU and proof Statehood quarters. Oh, and some gold! Thanks dear friend.

Been in the same spot and backed off greatly. Do not regret it one bit. Now I just supplement my SS and retirement income with a coin sale or two when I feel the urge.

Be well,

Always sad when someone cashes out of the game.....but you must do what's right for YOU and only you can determine your priorities.



I wish you well and a healthy, happy retirement.

I retired my sets today. A lot of the coins are already showing up in the Heritage Long Beach material. Thanks for all the best wishes here, that means a lot to me.



Happy collecting to you all!



Kind regards,



George

Those SMS and early Proofs are spectacular!

Being retired myself, I must resist the temptation to acquire some of your very nice specimens... Cheers, RickO

EagleEye: thanks for the nice compliment.



Ricko: Don't be shy! Go for a few ...



Cladking: I definitely have quite a few things left on the bucket list.



I'm hoping the 1964 SMS does well, especially.



Kind regards to all,



George
