    Cool coin, for a Kennedy. Well, let's just say cool error anyway.

    Didn't you just tell me a couple of hours ago these were holdered as a Variety not an error? Must have been bad reception.image

    The PR64 will bring in the $800 to $1000 range.

    (Assuming he does a decent writeup and feature plus's it).

    Russ - Is that what you have your sniping programs set at? image

    I think he wrote it up pretty good - If it goes 800-1k, will be a little more than my budget this month, but I'll go help it along a little bit.

    No. If I set it that high I couldn't flip it for an obscene profit.

    I'm keeping the struck through. I actually collect those. The PF64 is up now, I have the PF63 and the PF67. I'm still thinking about keeping the PF67 also unless I'm offered stupid money for it!

    Hi Tom,

    I wonder if PCGS would put "Cherrypicked from Harlin Berk" on the slab!image

    Now I'm tempted to buy some "unopened" 1968 proof sets just to see what I can find. I imagine most people never even knew the inverted mint mark existed.

    then again, maybe some of us are a bit too presumptious as to what we know and don't know.

    Personally, I think PCGS should have titled the slab like this:

    So does this coin have the brown spot on Kennedy's head or not?

    Stupid money? No, I think we both did alright.

    I love the coin. It arrived and honestly, it's a CAMEO without PCGS stating so. I speculate they simply didn't have room on the insert.
    Either way, it's attractive. It's cool. It's rare.
    All the details I look for, most of the time, in a coin.
