Our Kennedy Half Registry Seta

Our Kennedy half Registry Sets are now all at Heritage. They include our Kennedy Half Circulation Strikes Complete Variety Set, the only set to ever achieve 100% completion at PCGS and the number 1 set in 2015 and 2016. Bidding is now live.



There are many Cherrypickers' varieties in high grade, plus a 1964 SMS MS67 PCGS; a 1964-D MS65 PL NGC, with a letter from Ken Bressett pedigreeing it to the first day of issue; a 1964 PR69 Deep Cameo; and a 1971-S half PR69 Deep Cameo, along with many other conditionally elusive coins in the set.



Kennedy Halves



I wanted to mention that while the Heritage photos are pretty good, there are some alternative shots from Todd Pollock for many of the coins that you can see here, my Retired Set (hmmm, appropriate):



#1 Kennedy Halves Registry Set-Mostly Todd Pollock Photos



All of these coins will be appearing in upcoming Heritage auctions, although not all of them are in Long Beach (#1239). Thank you for looking.



Kind regards,



George

    "You're the melody of a symphony by Strauss ..."



    I have to wonder how much Strauss (and which one) Cole Porter was really familiar with. The Viennese Strausses, Johann etc., sure didn't write symphones, they wrote waltzes! And as for Richard Strauss, well, he wrote a lot of melodies but most of them are not the kind you leave the concert hall whistling.

    "You're a Bendel bonnet, a Shakespeare's sonnet, you're Mickey Mouse!"



    They just don't write them like that any more. Oh, and they aren't making any more of those 1964 SMS halves, either! The roster shows only a dozen existing.

    "You're cellophane!"



    Cellophane was invented by a Swiss chemist in 1900. In many countries it is a trademark -- a shortened version of cellulose (it is made from a cellulose solution) and French "diaphane," transparent -- but in the United States it has become generic.



    I hope you have a nice long Labor Day weekend doing what you love best ... bidding and buying and selling coins!

    "You're sublime, ..."



    A cool word which means exalted, borne aloft, lofty, but traces back to Latin where it may have originally meant "sloping upward to the lintel," from sub- and limen "lintel" and maybe limus "oblique." Also cool as a verb.

    We interrupt this song for an announcement. First, wishing you all a Happy Labor Day and well-earned rest from your labors. Second, the Live Floor Auction for the first segment of these coins will be Wednesday night in Long Beach. These will come towards the tail end of Session 2, which is 1,000 coins long. The live bidding begins at 6 pm Pacific Time, 8 pm Central Time, 9 pm Eastern Time. Since it is so late, some of the astute bidders that hang in there till the end of the session, particularly on the West Coast, may find some attractive buys! Good luck.



    Best Regards,



    George



    We now resume your regularly scheduled song.

    Holy cow! I remember seeing a full set of the 64sms on ebay for (I believe) $20k a while back. And it was from a legit seller, too.

    Congrats on the sale. Im sure you made out nicely!

    We're doing all right, thank you! Still some nice coins going cheap though!



    That set on eBay was $30K, I remember because I bought it and turned around and resold it but it was far below the price levels of today (apparently).

    They just don't write them like that any more.

    George. Congratulations on your very successful sale topped off by the amazing price on the SMS coin!

    I was unable to lot view the collection, but still threw a few bids around this afternoon to win a few coins (and run up another I did not win). Can you remove the coins from your registry set now so winning bidders like myself can enter the coins in our sets? Thanks. Wondercoin
