69 used to be my favorite .... not anymore >:)

The 69 I don't particularly care about ... is my Palladium posted grade.
I am a fricking perfectionist to a point and not $$$ related but now I rather let this one go :(

    Maybe you should do 5,000 chances at 50c each.

    You need something to keep you busy,,,,,,, you spend WAY too much time on this Forum. :#

    My $20 UHR first strike got a 69 when most went 70. I was bummed. I saw no reason.

    It was hard but I let it go. It's gorgeous regardless.

    Yeah I can relate to how you feel...I was hoping for a keeper not so much 70 for monetary gain.
    Did you let it go...as GO as selling it?

    No, I still have it. With all the original Mint docs and packaging. At some point I'll sell it.

    Some folks tell me to crack it and restore everything to how I received it. I struggle with the ethics.

    I'm not too big on cracking. No matter what the grade it seems like a waste.

    I would deal with it this way....

    I'd take it from in front of me on my desk and put it across the room on a bookshelf

    Totally get what you are saying PF. In reality, it is often just splitting hairs between 69 and 70. I've seen MANY 70's that I believe have had a "flaw" and other 69's that were "flawless" imo. Your coin looks AMAZING, BUT, if that 69 is gonna bother you, dump it. If you are like me, once I get something in my head that I don't like I rarely change my mind. Life is short. **Choose those things that bring you joy and let the others go :)**

    That's bad luck jwitten. I'll bet they look good too.

    But 69 is better than 68.

  • OnastoneOnastone Posts: 4,161 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Awwwwww so sorry it wasn't a 70. You must be heartbroken...I know you had your hopes up and it is just one chance to get it right. The last population report I saw had the majority coming back as 70's, but there were a few 69's, and that one 68. I still have mine raw, still on the grading fence. Soooo, maybe a raffle would work for you, there really aren't many of these coins to go around no matter what grade it's in.

  • BullsitterBullsitter Posts: 5,914 ✭✭✭✭✭

    If the coin you posted is your 69 I'd keep it, I don't see a thing wrong with it. Rims are fine, no spots or dings that I can see. Unless there is something in the shadows it looks 70 to me.....jmo.... B)

  • bronco2078bronco2078 Posts: 10,425 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Is this thread going to be mostly 69 jokes?

    Here is one

    did ya'll know that 70 is just 69 with a +1 ?

  • GoldminersGoldminers Posts: 4,350 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I feel your pain. I sent in 5 gold Kennedy coins a few years ago unopened (never again) and all 5 were 69's.

    I have noticed many of the 69's palladiums on True View have scuffs in the mirror finish by the date. Yours has some to the right near the rim, and others I see are to the left and lower near the rim. The graders are watching this area very closely. The coin itself is beautiful and well struck.

    If this was mine I would sell it now for $2,500. Wait about a month or two and buy a 70 for around $2,800. Current 70 prices are as low as $3,150 with standard flag label and should dip below $3,000 in a few weeks IMO.

    The $1,000 profit is still a big winner, so be happy. It is Saturday, go outside, take a deep breath, go spear a fish and forget about it. :)

    Wow... So close... Sorry to hear this...You could resubmit. The price of a 70 on the secondary market will be high - at least for a couple of years. :'( Cheers, RickO

    68 is unsatisfyingly lonely :o

  • cardinalcardinal Posts: 2,005 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Back in the day of the First Ladies gold medals, I would buy my household limit and send them in for grading. I got a bunch of 69s and some 70s.

    The 69s bugged me for a while. But later on, I appreciated them....that is, AFTER I resubmitted them and 2/3rds of the 69s came back as 70s!!😊.

    Maybe your 69 is just a resubmission away from being a 70?😉

  • GoldminersGoldminers Posts: 4,350 ✭✭✭✭✭

    This is the TrueView close-up. IF (big IF) the graders are looking here, it could be the reason for the 69 in which case resubmitting may not be your best option. Sometimes it is just hard to know what they saw and didn't like, but the profit from the 69 will go a long ways towards a 70.

    No worries. Those are part of the feather detail shadows in the design. Agree they look a bit odd at first until zoomed in on.

    However on a separate note, does anyone else feel the eagle is stomping on the olive plant and ripping the new branches off with an evil look?

    If the 69 bothers you, it’s got to go since it will ruin your enjoyment of the piece going forward (“but for”).

    Wait awhile and buy a 70 later.
