What Year Kennedys are Hard to Make in Deep Cameo and Cameo??

I was wondering exactly which years were the toughest. I know the 69 and 70, but any others?

Thanks.

64, 70 and 71 and the SMS coins

Pretty much all of em prior to 73 or 74 for DCAM........CAMs are decently easy to find for most years.

1969 and 1970 (and 1968), while certainly more difficult than 1976 and newer, really aren't that tough in CAM and DCAM.

The 1964 is moderately difficult in DCAM, relatively easy in CAM. The 1964 Accented Hair is very tough in DCAM, moderately difficult in cameo. The 1965 through 1967 SMS coins have varying degrees of difficulty, with DCAM being tough for all three years and VERY tough for 1965 and 1966.

1971 through 1974 are relatively easy in cameo, tougher in DCAM, with 1971 being VERY tough in DCAM.

As for the AH Kennedy, you have to find one first!!! Right Russ!

Russ said it well. My list is as follows:

1) 1965 Dcam (it's not the devices, it's the mirrors on the coins that have them)
2) 1966 Dcam (easy in cam and doubled-die)
3) 1964 AH (always milkspots on the dcam coins)
4) 1971 (first year of 100% clad, and most of the coins from the best dies are hairlined. This was a terrible year for dcam in all series except Roosies)
5) 1970 (not too tough)
6) 1968 (harder than the 69 to me)
7) 1969 (on a 1 to 10, it's a 4)
8) 1964 non-AH

The first two on my list are 5 figure coins in the 68, and the third one is high 4 figures in 68. The 71's in PR69 Dcam have been trading around $2500 + juice. The others are fun coins, but more affordable.

Dheath nailed it!

<< <i>3) 1964 AH (always milkspots on the dcam coins) >>

Not always. I know of two that don't have any.
