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

    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.

    Marty - how many you keeping for yourself??

    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!

    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.

    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.
