    "Divot" Kennedy

    "Someone dropped the die in San Francisco" Kennedy

    Since it was 1967, this is the "Groovy" Kennedy

    Possibly the "Russ is gonna call Marty a butthead" Kennedy

    You shouldn't have linked straight to his photo image don't you hate when they do that? LOL

    I would vote dothead, as it does seem to sum up what you're looking at, but Russ will call me a doofus.

    There is an auction on eBay with a guy who said he wrote a book to include this Kennedy (I'm sure he's a forum member, I just don't know him), and he just refers to it as the "Birthmark Variety" (His pic below since the above one has morphed)

    LOL - My top link was to the forums with Russ telling you this:

    << It's not a dothead Kennedy, so who cares... >>

    Stop calling them dotheads, buttnugget.

    After inspecting the larger photo posted by Russ, I must say that the frost breaks on some of the letters of "Liberty" and on the 7 in 1967 really make this a disappointing coin. Low end IMHO.

    I will help out the hobby taking possession of this low end example of "Modern Crap" and removing it from the market forever. Whoever has the coin should just send it to me. I will even pay for shipping cuz it makes me ill to think that this coin could be foisted off onto a new collector who will leave the hobby forever when he/she finds out what a lousy coin it isimage

    "Birthmark" variety does not make any sense.

    You can not have a birthmark in your hair. You can have patchy alopecia, but a birthmark by definition would not show through dense hair.

    The "Assassination" variety would be a better descriptor.

    You gotta call it the SB...or is it the BS of the Kennedy world.........

    First you got to promote the hell out of it, then - call the right people and tell them how lucky you are to know them and how damn good looking they are, not to mention the fact that they run the best company Broad and Wall have ever seen, -- back your words with constant praise, love and adoration every chance you can --- then... repeat all of the above.

    Once done---pray and heck--- you never knowimage
    Some coins are just plain "Interesting"
