I've about got things ready for a Forum giveaway I'm thinking about doing here and you might really like the prize.

I personally removed these from Mint collectors rolls,
I discarded the end coins (cashed them back in)
Unrolled them carefully onto a bath towel, handled them with cotton gloves, and placed them into the 2"X 2" Flips.
So, I labeled them Mint State of course I didn't give them a Detail Grade.

Surprised by the quality of the photos from my iPhone lately. Been practicing 🤓

We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.

- President John Fitzgerald Kennedy

Can I get more explanation? The stamp on it is an oddity

That Kennedy looks better than a Pr69.
It is also a great picture. My compliments to the photographer.
Here is my 81 S type 2

Please PM when you do.
I always have room for Kennedys.

You would think! PR69 is what they gave me! Your 81 S looks nice as well. PR70

bearcave · July 31, 2021 12:10PM

This is 1980 S Kennedy. I also have the 1979 S Kennedy in PR69.

I'm usually a toner guy (and there are some great ones in this thread), but my Ike type example is blast white. Silver MS68

Here are a few

Unfortunately, not mine. Lol

My "No FG" variety

Here are the Proof Kennedys I found this week by CoinRollHunting!

Jzyskowski1 · July 31, 2021 3:51PM

Wow looks like a big streak vertical on his face. Just a shadow This one is pretty clean 🤓

P0CKETCHANGE · July 31, 2021 4:29PM

Here's my '64 Kennedy with some subtle color — Proof 68

I just re-imaged my AH Kennedy using oil to hide the slab scratches. The coin has enough small spots without the numerous small slab scratches adding to them🌚

Without the oil this was the best I could do🌝

Mr_Spud · July 31, 2021 9:37PM

I just purchased this one because I got tired of not having a slabbed Ike in my collection 🌞

What type of "oil" do you use and how do you apply it?
Some of my slabs have scratches and would love to photograph them without the scratches showing.

Thanks

@WAYNEAS
I’ve been using isoparrafin (isopar L)
That they sell to refill those liquid filled compasses you see on boats. But other people use regular mineral oil, cooking oil and even WD40. I like the isoparrafin because it is optically clear and after you blot it off with a paper towel, any residue you miss will evaporate off because it slowly evaporates. I’ve been putting it on the slab with a medicine dropper right over the coin and I keep adding it drop by drop until it forms a little dome that completely covers the coin. It takes a few drops. I started off using oil like this just to make scratches in the slab disappear temporarily to take a picture, but I also noticed it allows my autofocus on my iPhone to work better because it can’t see any glare or haziness from the slab. I’ve been using this oil

Compass Oil, 1 Pint https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077BLP62F/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_06GANN5SE4JCFXSCH5Q9

Here’s an example where the 1st picture is dry and 2nd is with the oil on it

Mr_Spud · August 1, 2021 10:06AM

Sorry about going off the topic of this post. Here’s a Kennedy (shot through oil) to get back on topic 🌝

Thank you very much for the info.

Jzyskowski1 · August 1, 2021 11:03AM

This stuff is different but is for repairs. Alot of experience is required to understand but as the label sez not for ngc. These are not the same as mineral oil or such. Just a reminder 🤓

WAYNEAS · August 1, 2021 11:16AM

So as to not change the OP here is another Kennedy that I like.

Testoon · August 1, 2021 3:06PM

Well, I can’t compete with these beautiful coins, so I’ll go the other way!

CoinHoarder · August 1, 2021 3:06PM

I got all kind of Ike’s. Here is just a few.
