POLL: Is the Kennedy in this set an Accented Hair?

Russ · September 8, 2005 11:00AM

Let's see how good your detectors are.

Russ, NCNE

fivecents · September 8, 2005 11:11AM

I'll say nope.

p8nt · September 8, 2005 11:13AM

I must be crazy, but I cant see any way to tell from that image. Unless of course you blow it up somehow.

PhillyJoe · September 8, 2005 11:14AM

1.Russ likes A/H proof sets.
2.Russ buys A/H proof sets.
3. Russ passes on regular sets unless they're D/C.
4.The dime is a pointed nine.

Conclusion: I have no idea.

Joe

eagle7 · September 8, 2005 11:15AM

Yes.

RGL · September 8, 2005 11:16AM

The truncated I in LIBERTY closes it for me...

coinguy1 · September 8, 2005 11:18AM

The packaging gives it away (edited to add : ????, as I have no clue and am darned proud of it!

), even though the (small) image of the coin itself doesn't provide the answer.

PhillyJoe · September 8, 2005 11:19AM

If I stand behind my monitor, it does look like the rays on the reverse are broken just a tad.

Joe

goldrush00013 · September 8, 2005 11:26AM

My detector says yes.

Russ · September 8, 2005 11:29AM

Now, I don't want you people to be biased by PhillyJoe's assertion that I only buy Accented Hair sets.

Russ, NCNE

I dont know but I bet the Cent has some decent color.

Numismanic · September 8, 2005 11:40AM

<< I dont know but I bet the Cent has some decent color. >>

Same with the nickel.

FatMan · September 8, 2005 11:47AM

The most interesting thing about this poll so far is that less than 12% have acknowledged they are modern bashers. I think there may be a few that are not telling the truth.

PhillyJoe · September 8, 2005 11:49AM

I am also 90 % certain that the quarter is 90% silver.

Murphy · September 8, 2005 12:59PM

Since it's not a proof, as Coinguy1 pointed out, it is a Philadelphia minted coin according to the package. I know the business strike reverse side could be either type, but wasn't the obverse only type-2? Wouldn't at best your coin be a transition Kennedy?

Murphy...Proof sets were minted at Philadlephia and had no mint mark until 1968 when they were minted at San Francisco and had the S- mint mark.

Murphy · September 8, 2005 2:34PM

Oh.

Myqqy · September 8, 2005 3:18PM

Why are we talking about moderns?

coppercoins · September 8, 2005 4:28PM

Appears so to me - I believe I see the highlight of the lines reflecting in the light.

I bet it's in the font size or envelope shade, though. Could be the size or color of the mint emblem in the dollar spot, though....just guesses, but it would be the only way to tell without seeing it on the coin.

Gator5220 · September 9, 2005 2:34AM

I don't know if this is correct, but on the AH's I have the envelope had a more bold typeface than my non-AH's.

moneyhungry · September 9, 2005 2:41AM

YES !!!! ??

Longacre · September 9, 2005 2:41AM

What's an accented hair Kennedy, and is there a market for them? There must not be. I've never seen one on Legend's website.

Russ · September 9, 2005 2:44AM

<< I've never seen one on Legend's website. >>

They actually did sell some Kennedys on eBay a while back. Their realized prices were somewhat less than market.

Russ, NCNE

mgoodm3 · September 9, 2005 2:44AM

I voted no, but what do I know. didn't look like enough hair action to me.

tcmitssr · September 9, 2005 2:47AM

Who cares, as we discussed in our PMs....modern crap!

fivecents · September 9, 2005 11:33AM

<< Who cares, as we discussed in our PMs....modern crap! >>

I CARE...what is the answer Russ.

segoja · September 9, 2005 11:36AM

How can you tell from that photo!

Picked one up today!!!

Russ · September 9, 2005 11:40AM

<< I CARE...what is the answer Russ. >>

I just found out the answer, since it arrived today. It is the Accented Hair. I thought it was, but wasn't 100% certain. If you look closely, you can see the left side of the wishbone above the ear.

It's a dog, though.

Russ, NCNE

PhillyJoe · September 9, 2005 11:44AM

Even ugly dogs need a good home.

And the dime?

Joe

Russ · September 9, 2005 11:46AM

<< And the dime? >>

It's a Roosevelt.

Russ, NCNE

PhillyJoe · September 9, 2005 11:49AM

Am I being "blunt" if I ask another question about the dime?

Joe

fivecents · September 9, 2005 11:51AM

Looks like my AH detectors need some work.

Russ · September 9, 2005 11:52AM

<< Am I being "blunt" if I ask another question about the dime? >>

If you did ask, the answer would be rather pointed.

Russ, NCNE

21Walker · September 9, 2005 11:57AM

Russ, first off, How could anyone tell from this pic? We cannot see th 'I' in LIBERTY', discern the Hair on JFK, no view of the reverse (for the 'FG strait G' or the broken rays.

So, educate us Russ, How can we tell from this obverse photo, How can we tell? We are always suckin' up knowkedge...............Thanks...............Rick

Cameonut · September 9, 2005 8:25PM

<< If you did ask, the answer would be rather pointed. >>

Good catch on the half and dime. I would have never thought the half was AH from that pic.

wjd283 · September 9, 2005 8:39PM

<<

Russ, NCNE >>

I voted yes because of the light reflecting in the general AH area.A regular one should'nt have anything there to cause that much of a reflection.
