Accented Hair Kennedy

I am about to make a deal to purchase a 1964 mint set. He took a photo of the kennedy and it appears to me to be an accented hair. Do you agree or disagree and why?

proof only for accented hair

 

Right. But I am buying this from a proof set.

It looks like the 'I' is right anyway but a closer picture would help.

 

are you sure

 

Yes, you can see the original craigslist posting here
in the first picture it states on the paper us proof set.

 

then why did you state mint set?

 

It is still a mint set and we all know that Accented Hair kennedy half dollars were only from proofs.

 

that is a mint set, not a proof set

 

No it is a proof set. I am looking at one. See here..

It is an Accented Hair. Buy the set and ignore the blather from those hung up grammatical symantics.

If you end up not liking it, PM me and I'll buy it from you at your cost plus mailing charges to me.

Fortgot to add why I believe it is.

1. Its definitely a proof coin.
2. The serif is missing on the I in LIBERTY
3. There's just too much activity in the hair area above the ear for it NOT to be even though its unclear in the photo.

 

I just emailed him an offer for 65.00. Thanks for the heads up guys.

 

You're correct in saying that this is the accented hair proof variety. Some of the people that commented on this post, as well as myself were a little confused at first. The mint produced mint sets and proof sets. They're different than each other. This coin is in fact in a proof set and not a mint set.

 

The seller knows what he has. Don't hurry buying that set. You never know what you're going to get.

 

Wow, the bid is currently $132.50. I cherrypicked mine for $15. Maybe it is time to for me to sell. TC

 

The linked eBay set is not the subject coin of this thread and for the life of me, I have no idea why the eBay set is at the $132 mark since there is absolutely nothing special about the Kennedy within that set other than "possibly" a PR66 AH Coin (after $55 in grading expenses that is).

 

if you really did do that then me and you are going to have problems.

 

I was thinking that was awful crappy but maybe it was a joke.

 

Perhaps he's just trying to teach you a little lesson...
