I almost went with MS67 but thought there were too many marks on the neck. I don't think it would get the PL designation.

 

I think it's a solid MS67...but I accidently put 66 on the poll. I'm at 67. It's very clean with minimal nicks and booming luster.

 

I almost went 65 due to the marks on the eagle/shield on the reverse, and I'm guessing the marks on the portrait on the obverse (as well as the couple I see in the fields) are not quite so visible in hand. So I ventured a guess at 66.

Fun side note, I only have about 125 of these haha (not many in this condition, though, haha, but a really nice toned example I'll eventually send in.)

Thank you for sharing.

 

The few marks are not in prime focal area and is a well struck example.
As with all photo GTG you don't get the whole visual experience, but I think it got prooflike designation.
MS67 PL

 

That's die deterioration going on. I'll bet that luster is spinning like a top for it.

 

The obverse contact marks, along with the tired die and soft strike, makes me think MS64. If I'm wrong, I blame the photographer.

 

I think its MS-66

 

MS66

 

MS-65

 

MS66

 

A few bag marks and some light luster grazes.
I voted MS66.

 

From a Special Mint Set so I went MS-66.

 

Yup. You gave away part of my spiel for the reveal. Only available in mint sets.

 

My apologies sir. That’s a very nice looking one for sure.

 

Thank you, sir. That is the key date of garden variety Kennedys.

 

Yes it is. I have several, some still in the original Mint Set with the original Government packaging.

 

66 is my guess.

 

We have a dozen or so. And get this, all from searching boxes. We even have quite a few of the later date 90% silvers. One wouldn't think any of these would find their way to circulation, but quite a lot evidently do.

 

I have found a few clashed Kennedy half’s now. I was not planning on collecting Kennedy’s ever but may rethink that . I like the Rhino clashed coins . Just picked up another one. This one a 1988 . Will be neat to see how many separate years I can find
