   << <i> << <i>I would agree with your assesment of MS64. >> What would you grade this one? Russ, NCNE >> The 70-D IMO is a 64, which is also where I would grade the 68-D. Having said that, if Russ thinks different that I do about a Kennedy, I'd put my money on Russ every time.

   I'll agree with Russ, then again, on Kennedy's I wouldn't disagree with him. Tom

   << <i>Is the mark I see on the cheek really on the slab? >> Nope. It's on the coin. But, in hand it's not nearly as visible as it is in a 600 pixel wide image. Russ, NCNE

   Thanks Russ! It compares very favorably to the one you showed. I am still trying to learn how to take pictures. I really appreciate your input. Do you think that it might be worth getting slabbed?
