Anyone know about the history of this Kennedy half ?

lablover · February 21, 2017 6:13PM

No history, but I do like that end-of-roll toning!!!!!!

One of the nicest Kennedy's that I have seen.

No, don't know the history but holy crap that baby has got some color.

I dont know the history of that coin but I have a theory on the toning. I have 6 that are more wildly toned than this one that all came out of a velvet display box. Only the silver issues were toned nicely. The clads looked like junk.

I need to send them off to our host eventually.

I do know that the coin might not look as nice as the image!! NGC has it looking like this!

Any coin that NGC puts a star on has superior eye appeal. When color is the order of the day and the picture provided looks like the one above the picture should have gone into the garbage can and should never be used for anything. That said, the color is excellent. Your image is 100x better than NGC's in this case.

Lots of color but a lot of distractions as well. Wouldn't pay moon money.

The untoned spots in the toned areas take away the value of the toning for me. I know others will feel differently and that's fine.

Here's another JFK from those velvet boxes... if you dont like the NGC coin, you wont like the PCGS one much... fingerprints and all but this is indicative of the colors imparted by the 3rd party after market storage...

I like the year, but not the tone of this half dollar.

I could live with it with the exception of the spottiness. The spots aren't going to go away so I wouldn't buy it. That said, I don't collect halves so maybe that's why I could easily pass it up. As for the pics I like yours much better. Looks like you used more lighting than they did.
