Okay, bit the bullet….

This one hurt, but it filled in the hole. Collection officially complete!

Now, I have officially spent half of the money from the sale of my 1893s, and can take a breather from my buying spree. This was a satisfying way to officially say “goodbye” to the Morgan Key!

Nice! I think Kennedy stuff will explode one day. I'm collecting older silver in hopes. Nice gold piece!

 

I’m like you. I think that half was one of the more inspired designs to come out of the mint.

 

That is nice. It is the only Kennedy that I don't have. I can't make myself get one.

 

He was a favorite. The people really loved this guy. Ultimately he was the one who said he wanted to send a man to the moon before the end of the decade. Even though he didn't live to see it, it happened....

 

I waited in line overnight in the streets of Chicago for two straight nights to buy that for $1170 and turn around and flip it for $3500. Bet you got it CHEAP!

 

That would have been 'harrowing' on the south side.......

 

Kennedy was my Commander in Chief. We were all very nervous during the Cuban blockade.

 

Nice Kennedy Half and really desirable. But I sure could use that 93 Key Morgan. Ahh, maybe one day.

 

I did not do quite that well, as spot was $1374 that day for .75 OZ, but close to that.

 

Thank you for your Service.

 

Congrats!

 

Nice but I would rather have the 1893 S

 

I had the pleasure of two different 1893s coins for 12 years. To me, there really are more special coins, honestly. It is a key coin, but so overhyped, sometimes.

 

Heck dang Dave. Good to see ya dear fellow.

 

I bought one raw on eBay when gold was fairly low. It has a copper spot, but I'm not bothered by it. I was actually thinking of carrying it as a pocket piece -- what will the lowball grade be for a gold Kennedy? -- but I can't bring myself to do it, and the coins I have been carrying aren't showing much wear at all anyhow, so apparently I don't know how to do it correctly. It's a nice coin, and even with gold up, I'm not tempted to sell it.

I'm still not sure I think of it as "a member of the Kennedy series", but I understand the reasoning of those who do. Congrats on the final piece!

 

I was there, and watched you guys on line.

Nope, didn't buy one.

I said I'd wait for it to drop to spot in 6 + months.

Never got it.

 

I paid spot, plus $125. Happy with that.

 

I'm surprised you could land a 70 at a premium that low, even now!

 

A few people are overpaying, and most of the ones that aren’t are not moving at premium prices. It just is not that popular right now.
