It's not a Lucy coin...or at least I didn't buy it from her? Where have you seen it before Hepkitty?

and yes Hayden as I get older in life...it's all about the flash and less about the substance .....

You just need to get photoshop so that you can really start spicing your babies up.

It's in PCGS plastic to MS67 and yes I will keep it.
BTW it's brother from Denver is on the way to join it in my set.

Are the huge and distracting hits on Kennedy's chin, cheek and neck typical of a PCGS MS65 grade? I love the color on this coin, but the hits really take me out of it.

I certainly think a 65 grade on this is highly questionable.....but the large images do make the coin look that much worse. The hits are of course visable without magnification so I think PCGS was being extremely generous and it's most likely a low end 64 borderline 63.

LindeDad · February 21, 2006 8:32AM

From my experience of owning these in MS64 up to the one I have now. I will say that the nice color made that 64 a 65 if it where bright 64 only with the big hit on the cheek. From there on up. MS66 no hits on face small hits on shield or reverse OK. And as you can see from mine only a small hit on the shield on the reverse for 67.

Craton · February 21, 2006 11:30AM

FYI, the coin I shared graded PCGS MS64

LeeG · February 21, 2006 11:33AM

"Sweet" Kennedy toner! I don't have any toned Kennedy's, but I'll share this one:

TonedCoinTrader · February 21, 2006 11:46AM

Nice Color!

Here is one I am partial to...

NGC MS 67*

OHC6 · February 21, 2006 11:46AM

Hey LeeG, what is the grade of that Kennedy?

LeeG · February 21, 2006 11:51AM

<< Hey LeeG, what is the grade of that Kennedy? >>

It's raw, so it's anybody's guess

Well thanks a lot! Haha just kiddin. What would you say it is? 65,66 (just throwin out numbers)...

LeeG · February 21, 2006 12:30PM

It does have a small groove in the hair and a couple spots here and there. My WAG is 65 if I'm lucky.

raycyca · February 21, 2006 5:09PM

How about a raw MS 66? Before slabbing photo. It doesn't show up well in the slab. Slabbed by PCGS none the less! The others speak for themselves. The raw photos are from a set of Kennedys in a Dansco album. It goes from 1964-1979. BUT, the seller also had thru 1982 in the set. It included both the 1979 and 1981 type 2 proofs coins as well. Very pretty set! RayIMG]http://forums.collectors.com/attachments\/1976D_raw_Kennedy_front2.JPG[/IMG]
