Take a look at this 1964 Kennedy half. Does it look NT to you?

Whoa.. I just checked out the high bidder... and Just letting everyone know coinnut36 (even though it has a nice ring to it) is NOT me.. I dont have an ebay account.

If PCGS slabbed, AT least they think it is so.

Yes. It is absolutely NT. The coin likely toned in a cardboard velvet flocked aftermarket holder.

Doug,

Your coin is not in a PCGS holder, so we have no way of knowing whether or not the coin is AT.

Just throwing out a comparison coin for giggles

Cool coin.
While certainly no expert in toned Kennedy's, it certainly looks like the real deal.

Russ · February 27, 2006 6:32AM

Here's a similar one that I handled that was at an earlier stage in the toning process:

Of course now it'll probably turn out that the one in the auction came from Tonecoin2003.

isn't that seller a member of these boards?

BigE · February 27, 2006 6:34AM

Maybe its a Tide-e-Bowl Kennedy--------------BigE

Looks legit to me, very similar color with other private company's after market holders.

Why don't people just say what their stupid reserve is? If people bid and keep getting "reserve not met" what is the point? Just state the reserve already. lol

LindeDad · February 27, 2006 7:29AM

He does state his reserve. The BIN is $999 and that will make the reserve.

JoshL · February 27, 2006 7:30AM

Then why have an auction?

The bin can be higher than the reserve. Can it not. If someone bids that then they would just simply buy it and not bid.

That makes no sense.

Russ............that Kennedy you pictured holdered at PCGS. It may not be a pretty but it was a lot cheaper.

nope!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

mozin · February 27, 2006 8:32AM

PCGS did not say this coin is NT. The wording they use is something like "They will not encapsulate coins that they determine are AT". This one they could not determine with reasonable doubt to be AT. PCGS leaves it open for PCGS to decide differently at any time.

I would not think this coin NT.

morgannut2 · February 27, 2006 8:39AM

You really can't tell because all siver PROOFS can tone very spectacular NT colors - take a look at earlier proofs from the 19th century in any catelog. If it was a business strike I'd say AT but this looks normal for a proof. Plus the seller has 100% feedback and has some real business stike NT coins (see his 1887 Morgan with canvass bag textile rainbow toning that isn't know to be commonly faked).

Cool. I figured it would.
