    Depending on how bad the marks on the cheek are, and how much the fingerprint shows up - 65 ?

    The finger print is on the holder.:kewl:
    but grade in the ballpark

    That's one smokin hot kennedy. The only mark that I am worried about is the one on the cheek. I'd give the 1966 a grade of MS-66.

    I gave you what I thought the grade would/should be - 65.

    See the marks I circled on the cheek - that's why. As to the fingerprint on the neck, if you say it's on the slab, OK. But it sure doesn't look like it to me.

    Due to marks on the cheek, I'd say 64.

    Looks like a nice SMS coin with some decent frost, pretty!

    I'd say 65 Cameo, although I don't think PCGS would call it Cam.

    So you're saying NGC wouldn't grade this? What holder is it in now?

    No, I just mean that PCGS might not call it Cameo and NGC might. It appears borderline to me but photos are hard to tell.

    My guess would be sms-64. higher if not for the cheek marks.

    From the tone of your post I suspect the coin graded 64. Looks like a liner 64 or 65 to my eye. I also suspect NGC didn't call it a CAM either. :(

    MS66 Star

    Here it is. I wish they add Cameo Star

    thanks
    I this was the my 1st star coin I had graded but I was sure it would Cameo but I guess the star is ok.
    I sent it off April or May and I wanted the new holder. but I guess they have a large stock of the old holder left

    I thought it would Cameo too but I think the Star is a better deal. Nice coin either way. Take care Jello

    Jello I think with that unfortunate scratch on the cheek you should feel good about the 66.

    I do have a beginnier's question as to the star. What does it stand for?

    Superior eye appeal for the grade
