    Can I get some affirmation on the validity of this nice 66 SMS Kennedy? In comparing it to VV, I see all the markers of a DDR-001. What do you all think, yea or nay?

    I don't see anything! However, I'd like to suggest that you take your images from directly overhead rather than at an angle. I suspect that it still won't reveal anything, but it is what it is.

    I'm curious of the analysis of the, circles, balloons or whatever the proper name for the round guys there.

    Those were the best I could come up with (deleted about a dozen) and I tried every angle. Older camera probably isn't helping either. It's tough getting the splits on the letters to show, but the splits on the stars are there to see.

    I say nay...The 66 SMS DDR-001 is paired with the 66 SMS DDO-024 in the CONECA listings. A marker for the DDO-024 is a die scratch south from the tip of the nose (see attached photo), I don't see it in your photos. I also don't see the star notching pattern or doubling on your half matching anything in the CONECA listings. I would say you have a minor variety.

    There is a scratch, but not in that exact spot. I still think it's good, possibly a different variety? I see splitting on the stars and letters my camera isn't showing.
