Crackout this 74-D Kennedy and make a few hundred?

Take a look at the image (from Wednesdays' Teletrade) 1974-D Kennedy Pcgs-66 I thought this one had a really good shot at 67, didn't see any of the negative things as in Teletrades' description. Anyone feeling lucky? A couple other Kennedys to note, both are solid PCGS-66, 1983-D and 1989-D. Image for the 89-D 1989-D Kennedy PCGS-66

hmmm, how do I say this nicely, are we looking at the same coins? No way.

Irish Mike - Love of money can soften even the harshest picture to the seller. Of course the buyer is another story altogether. Bear

It would be interesting to hear anyone elses' opinion on this 74-D Kennedy.

I wasn't even aware a 1974-D in MS67 went "for a few hundred". I own one. Do you want to buy it?

On June 19, 2000, one sold on Teletrade for $320, and on July 23, 2000 one sold on Teletrade for $240. These are actual auction results from Teletrades' "Price Guide". (No other 1974-D Kennedys in PCGS-67 have sold since those). The way MS-67 Kennedys have been selling lately, I am assuming that one today would sell for way over $300. No thanks on the offer to sell me one. Any comments on the one imaged?

I'm not a Kennedy expert but it looks exceptionally well-struck for that era, including the shield on reverse, and overall very clean without typical scuffing on the high points, including the shield again.

But I can see the marks (though not the scratch) that Teletrade appears to be talking about, and that seems like enough excuse to keep it in a 66 holder on that size coin.

Looks like a nice coin regardless of the label. I'd buy it at the current price.
