Hello, Moving forward to the Kennedy halves in My Father's Collection. I found a roll or two of apparently UNC. Is there anything in the photos that could warrant an MS grade? I'm not considering having the certified, just want to know about what the grade might be. There are about 8 in this condition with very good luster (not seen in the photos) , 20 in slightly lesser condition and about 10 junk. As always thank you all.
Nice JFK halves. Keep in mind two things.... The nation had just lost JFK and he was a beloved president. Secondly, it was the last year for silver coins. Consequently a LOT of people bought rolls of JFK halves to save..... So now there are lots of uncirculated 1964 JFK halves out there. I have four rolls myself...... That is saying nothing at all negative about yours. I believe they are quite nice. Just know there are lots of uncirculated 64’s out there.
Just about all 1964 halves are as nice as yours. Randy stated why but plain and simple, they didn't circulate. There are some varieties for that Year do check them out.
It's a very common coin. Unless you have the proof accented hair, I am not familiar with too many varieties and this coin is a melt silver value coin, unless it is mint state. Currently $5.35 although I would wait for silver to rebound a little after this horse manure we are in right now is over.
But what the heck? Meow wanted to buy some silver bullion coins to collect, but find they are so much above spot it does not seem right.
Once this virus passes us by, silver coins will fall back in line. In fact I would bet once folks are back to work that within sixty days the market will be absolutely flooded. Be a little patient, Meow. Buyers market is coming.
I may be the only person on this thread, maybe on this forum, who actually saw JFK with his own two eyes...BEFORE he was President. I wasn't very old, but I remember.
He was campaigning in my home town of Canton, OH in Sept. 1960. I had just turned 5 years old. His motorcade was to pass down one of the main streets in town. Well, my grandparents lived two doors down from one of the intersections he was passing. We all went to the corner to see him. I remember him in an open convertible waving to the crowd as he passed by.
