Don't these usually go for much more $?

Longacre · September 21, 2005 1:22AM

If I buy it can I subcontract it out to you to work your magic and turn it into a PR-70? We can split the proceeds from the subsequent sale. Easy as pie!

They do bring a premium if the seller knows what it is and identifies it in the auction, or if some bidders figure it out. Not "much" more, though unless they're cameo.

There's never been one graded in PR70, and never will be.

What a challenge statement that is

As Fieval stated: "Never Say Never"

Don's bidding on this one, so I'm leaving it alone. Nice guy that I am.

I told you DHeath was gonna be spending the leftover wedding/tuition money.

You gotta wonder though ... why is Russ pointing this auction out to us? Is he turning a new leaf of generousity?

Russ · September 21, 2005 1:54AM

<< Is he turning a new leaf of generousity? >>

Yeah, that's it.

Actually, it's because the seller doesn't take PayPal and I'm feeling lazy.

And besides that it's not even a cameo.

Russ, I know how to identify AH's if the pic is large enough. But how in the round world can you tell from such a small pic?

robertpr · September 21, 2005 2:05AM

By the way Russ, how can you tell that's an AH? It looks like it was photographed from the International Space Station.

MrSpud · September 21, 2005 2:16AM

I can sort of see the wishbone in the hair.

UncleJoe · September 21, 2005 2:21AM

Assuming you get the set in the pic.

Joe.

It's all in the photo analysis and pick up points. I don't know Accented Hairs that well, but on
vams there are a number of clues you can use even on small photos. For example does the date and
mintmark position match my reference? On the 1887/6-O VAM-3 the mintmark is shifted left. And
that's not in any book, but it helps for on-line work. There might be another tell-tale that Russ found
when studying Accented Hairs. If so, it's his secret and he's earned it.

Russ,
Thanks for pointing this out. I know you've pointed these out in the past as well. Your webpage showing diagnostics is great! How often do you find the "interrupted rays" reverse with the "normal" (is non AH) obverse? Your estimate of roughly 100-200k AH sets is based on what sort of melting percentage for 64 proof sets?
Thanks!
Don

If the pic is taken just right, with the light catching the wishbone, you can see it. The auction pic shows it.

Robgetty · September 21, 2005 2:38AM

I'd worry that the seller will swap proof sets.

billboat · September 21, 2005 4:12AM

So, Russ--why are you passing it up? I was under the impression that you wanted each and every AH Kennedy minted? I've got one so I guess you'll never get them all unless you send me BIG bucks--- actually, thanks for the heads up.

I always thaught Russ was the king of AH's!
