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.

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

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.
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.
Man, that sounds like someplace I wanna go! Y'all bid now, hear?
In the 1930s, Greta Garbo was making $300,000 per film from MGM.
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!
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 now resume your regularly scheduled song.
"You're a turkey dinner, ..."
The fastest Kentucky Derby winner was Secretariat (who else?) at 1:59:40, which is also the track record at Churchill Down for 1-1/4 miles.
Live floor auctions start tomorrow!
"I'm a toy balloon that's fated soon to pop;
But if baby I'm by the bottom, you're the top!"
Good luck with your bids!

BIG DAY TODAY: Among my lots closing at Heritage today are the Kennedy half 1964 SMS in MS67 PCGS; a 1964-D MS65 PL NGC Kennedy pedigreed to Guide Book Editor Ken Bressett; a 1947 Maple Leaf Curved Right 7 half dollar VF35 PCGS, a great Canadian rarity; and a 1913-C sovereign MS63 PCGS.
Still lots of nice Cherrypicker's varieties and high-grade business strikes going begging!

"Coin collecting for outcasts..."
Are you sitting down? $40,000 plus the juice. $47,000.
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!

"Coin collecting for outcasts..."
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).
"You're the top, you're a Berlin ballad ..."
You're the nimble tread of the feet of Fred Astaire,
You're an O'Neill drama, you're Whistler's mama,
You're camembert!"
They just don't write them like that any more.
Last chance to bid on the Kennedy halves before the live auction begins at 10 am Central Time/8 am Pacific/11 am Eastern. Good luck!
Thanks for bidding.
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
