My semi-monster toned kennedy do you think it's real or AT?

Looks like a nice piece - good condition too - Kewl!

dig them crazy colors!

It's pretty. You might be able to capture the colors a bit better out of the 2x2. I think it has more than what's showing there.

Very nice color, much better than Russ's AT'd Jefferson

Just kidding Russ!

Really that coin's a definite keeper! As for what it's worth..well you know the adage. Toned coins can't be guaged very well by what a price guide says but I'd bet a specimen like that could reasonably expected to sell for at least 10x book, especially if you could get it holdered by PCG$ or NGC.

I'd vote "original". Nice.

Good score on the Kennedy, mbbiker. It has a nice look to it. Ditto on removing it from the 2x2
and re-imaging it. The glare from the plastic invariably washes out the color.

I'll probably take some more pics tommorow if i have time. Someone said i should send it to get slabbed do you really think its worth it to do that? (shameless plug) Anyway now that i've enjoyed it for a few days i figured i'd try and sell it. If your interested you can take a look here i'm starting it at what i paid. Sorry for the plug just figured this thread was already at the top so it couldn't hurt, i promise i will not post links to my auctions on this forum after this one.

Hey Russ, check out the "different angle" image. Isn't that a "ultra" accented hair?

mbbiker · April 13, 2003 1:06PM

baseball what i meant was this was my first monster, I agree with you that morgans and frankies come toned much better than this kennedy BUT considering that this is a kennedy half i would consider it a monster because kennedys rarely come with this much toning on them. If you can find some kennedys toned like this one i would love to see them.

P.S. i edited the orignal post to change my wording

This isn't a flame i'm just trying to learn how to use descriptions correctly.... There were 3 or 4 that sold in the last year and maybe a few others you didn't know about so if i read this correctly that means if mine isn't one of the top 10 or 15 kennedies out of the millions minted that means i can't call mine a monster? Mine has reds, blues, and yellows no dark colors (maybe just a hint of purple around the rim at 1:00-3:00
