   Wish he had better scans of that pup. Not something I'd buy, but something I'd certainly like to drool over. Russ, NCNE

   << <i>Have any of you ever seen a flawless coin? >> Yes, but only one. And, it happened to be a 1998 SMS Kennedy. Every other 70 I've seen was not flawless by any stretch of the imagination. Russ, NCNE

   Russ - When the time comes to sell my JFK Pr set, you will see Flawless PR-70 coins in great abundance in the set. They were selected from several hundred PR-70 coins over the years. Get yourself a great big drool bucket and keep it handy for the big sale in about 1-2 years. Bear

   Frank, When I saw the one and only real 70 I've had the chance to view, I was lucky enough to be able to compare it side-by-side with a 69 graded version of the same coin (98 SMS). The 70 did reach out and slap me. The strike was clearly stonger, and the surfaces so satiny, they looked like an expensive pillow. Russ, NCNE

   Remember too that NGC considers this Kennedy a "Proof" coin while PCGS believes it is MintState.

   What does "specimen" mean? I know what it means normally, but why is it on the coin. I mean, isn't every coin a specimen?

   "Specimen" is a term NGC will use for "SMS" (Special Mint Set). There was another NGC SMS70 Kennedy offered with a BIN of $700.00. yesterday, but I don't know if it's still available.

    the sms PCGS slabs dont pull a grand, what makes this clown think an NGC one will. I traded my PCGS MS70 for my 55/55 THAT WAS WORTH IT. and may I mention my example appeared to be first off the coining press.
