Accent hair ???

Nope, they got it right. The photo (shot with diffused light) makes the coin appear more cameo-like than it really is.

Thank you for all the information guys...

I am thinking about sending the coin to get graded so I checked NGC and PCGS website but I am a bit puzzled as to how. Can anyone share their experience and advise me?

Much appreciated!

 

Are you an ANA member? If so, you can submit your coin directly to NGC. If not, you will have to either join NGC or PCGS to submit coins yourself or take your coin to a dealer who is a member and can submit your coin for you (for a fee).

 

So, where are the accented hair DD's coming from? Last I read, only one accented hair obverse die and one reverse die were used to make the accented hair proof. And the reverse die was later paired with a normal hair obverse die.

 

check the name of the seller of the auction.

 

Nope, not a member. I assume it cost a lot of money to become a member. Hmm, I am not so excited to get it slabbed anymore.

 

Membership that allows you to send in coins is about 40 or so a year. Then you have to pay 19 bucks for grading. Then another 5 bucks for them to do varieties. More if you want them to do any research on the coin. You can rack up 40 or 50 bucks just for one coin aside from the membership fee. Even more if you want a quicker than 2 week turn around. I would say use ANACS.

 

ANA membership starts at $28/year.

 

Nice find on the A/H.
These bringing much of a price now a days?

 

Some of the rarer variations of the a/h fetch quite a bit of money.

I've wanted an a/h for a long time and to be able to find one in a roll is such a thrill.

 

I'll have to put up a pic of my 1964 accented Kennedy, when I get time. Mine came from the proof set for that year.

 

CONECA lists 10 "different" DDO's and 9 "different" DDR's.
The Accented Hair Variety can be coupled with both RDV-001 and RDV-002 (RDV = Reverse Design Variety)

The Variety itself supposedly represents about 6% of the total production of 3,950,762 or about 237,000 coins.
It's a scarce variety but not really rare. It's also prone to spotting (i.e. Milk spotting)

The coins to look for are those with the Cameo or Deep Cameo attributes (both obverse and reverse) as these are fairly rare.
PCGS has graded only 75 coins with the Deep Cameo Attribute and only 626 with the Cameo Attribute.
I have no idea how many NGC has graded with those same attributes.

Typically, a non-CAM, RAW, AH Kennedy can be purchased for around $30. The higher the grade, the higher the price.

Finding one in an assembled roll - Priceless!

 

Good info, Chris.

FS, when not referring to a cherrypickers variety, means "full steps" on Jeffersons. Just like FB (full bands on Mercurys), FH (full head on Standing Liberty quarters), and FBL (full bell lines on Franklins). I don't think FS is commonly used for "full strike".

Do you know the ID Member who is selling it? it's me. Did you see my AVATAR? Thank you too for looking my lots.

 

........and it's reasonable to assume that someone is referring to a variety such as FS-103 because I don't think the Jefferson Memorial has 103 steps.

See Below

 

FS could also mean fulla-whatever or FS for First Strike™ but then folks need to keep the FS reference in context with whats being talked about.

In this case Fivaz-Stanton.

 

There is a lot of side talk going on here, all I have to say is;
"Ikeigwin" has the best avatar picture... OMG the puppy is so cute!
