A question for Kennedy Half Dollar experts...

Coin FinderCoin Finder Posts: 7,803 ✭✭✭✭✭

Do you know what FS DDO numbers are recognized by PCGS for 1967 SMS halves and what the die diagnostics are?

Thanks!

    Looking at coinfacts, the only one they seem to recognize is a QDO FS-101

    I've collected Kennedy Half Dollars since 1964. Probably have more of them than anything except Jefferson Nickels. But... I don't consider myself an expert on the series at all. Never that interested in the small details. The reverse of the Kennedy and Bust Half are my favorites.

    Years ago, when I assembled a Kennedy half set (stopped around 2008/9), I had a few of the varieties... Will have to check, do not remember a QDO.... Cheers, RickO

    If it's listed in Cherry pickers 4th edition volume 2 or 5th edition volume 1, they will attribute it

    Tough to see with the pictures shown.
    I would go with the link provided by @Oldhoopster.

    I currently do not have this coin in my collection :( so I would appreciate any updates that you can provide.

    Why did you stop? That's just not normal coin collector behavior. Are you o.k., ricko?

    @Hydrant .... I retired and found there was so much more to do... Other hobbies and consulting work and just having fun.... Takes up a lot of time. :D;) Cheers, RickO
