Another LowBall Kennedy goes for decent money

I was watching this one all week. My hopes of adding it to my collection of lowball 1964 Kennedys were quickly smashed. It's not even a PO1, for crying out loud!

That’s a really interesting looking coin. The date is essentially gone but the rim is still defined.
Interesting coin, though the P01 sold by Heritage for $ 960 last fall does seem more attractive!
Lowball coins are bringing big bucks.
I wouldn't even offer melt.
I bought this one for $3 a week ago. They are cool but I prefer to make my own unless I can get them close to face/spot.

By make your own, do you mean wearing it down or getting it slabbed?
Looking at the edge it appears to be clad. If so, no date means it won't get slabbed. It's a novelty, yet of little to no interest to a lowball collector.

While I cannot understand the attraction of these super worn coins, I am glad that there is a segment of collectors that like these. Collect what you like and like what you collect. Cheers, RickO

I currently have a '74 half, '78 ike, 2007 ASE, and 1999 SBA as my pocket pieces. I have lost a couple of coins over the years but in the future I hope to get a full set of PO01 type and maybe silver eagles.

Yup, I don't get it but to each his own. Plenty of room in this tent. Peace Roy

Time to get my rock tumbler out and turn it into a coin tumbler.
Crazy price, but a very cool piece. I love certified lowballs, but prefer early copper, and gold.

Agreed, you can always wear a coin down more, but you cannot put detail back on a coin. There is a home for everything.
