I have a decent amount of BU Kennedy's from 1964 and 1970. Before I sell them as bullion, what varieties, repunched marks, doubled dies should I be looking for? If you have some pictures/links, that would be helpful as well..Thx all in advance

In Bu aside from the SMS the only one I collect is the 70 D....the key for those years.along with the 68 d and 69 d.

There are numerous DDR's and DDO's of each of these. Many aren't particularly exciting
except to specialists because they are minor or common but there are a couple pretty nice
DDO '66's, a '67, and a '68-D. There's a Rotated Reverse '65, and no initial '66 from SMS
dies. There's an OMM on the '69-D. Of course there's the AH '64 on the proofs.

I'd check at least for these and set aside any others you see. I'd also save and choice
pre-68 issues and gem later ones. The '68 and '69 issues with good luster are also worth
saving in choice grades. Obviously undamaged '70-D's should be kept.

Even with BU coins you probably won't find a lot of keepers.

Prices on 40% halfs are so low I'd be hesitent to sell even tarnished circulated coins at this
time.

Thx for the great info on JFK's....Does anyone have any good websites/books with decent pictures of these varieties???

Wiles' "The kennedy half dollar Book" is excellent and has pictures of most varieties.

There should be something at the Coneca site as well.
