Here My 1st Kennedy. Once I got a desk job in the US Army I had this framed. but on one of my last moves. the Moving Co broke the Frame.
If you think that the 98 SMS Kennedy is rare, what can I say other than you perception of rare is fairly twisted from reality.
The PCGS "Price Guide" is NOT based upon reality as lot of prices within that guide are so far from reality that its just ridiculous. True Value for a coin is based upon what folks will pay for it and it's been quite some time since MS69 (SP69) 98 SMS Kennedy's have sold for $225. David Lawrence has been unsuccessfully trying to sell about a dozen MS69's for close to 6 months at a price lower than what I paid in 2005. How about this: Reality: Fantasy: Reality: Fantasy: It doesn't get any easier than that. In keeping with the thread, here's a Kennedy I recently had graded. My one and only FS-504.
Quick question ..........can you tell the difference between a 1969 proof clad set and a 1969 proof silver half set?the only difference I can see on eBay is what the seller is telling you. Or am I wrong? One of my proof halves 1976
Yes since the 1969 Clad Proof is counterfeit. Actually, you've asked about 1969 but have posted a 1975/1976 coin. To tell the different between clad and silve proofs, look at the edge. On CnClad proofs, the edge is a bright copper color since the coins have 100% copper cores. On the silver, you should not see ANY copper at all since the core is an 80% Copper/20% Silver Core.
Yeah I just posted the 76 but I do have the 69 proof set. After looking at some that say silver half and some don't I thought how do I know if its silver if u can't see the edge in a mint casing.
Actually both seem to resemble that remark, so both stop it. Gee, it has been an easy day today, almost no reported posts. We don't have separate forums/threads that can limit participation by all members, but we can limit whether members are allowed to post or not, so lets take the chips off of your shoulders and play nice. Thanks Jim
