I would like this in MS63, but I think it graded MS64.
Cameo coins from early proof sets are very rare, I’m not sure I would call them conditional rarities. I haven’t checked recently but I would...
Nice looking coin, I don't see anything that would lend me to say AT but with proof coins, you really need to see the coin in hand to render a...
Whenever someone pays outrageous money for a Kennedy Half, Jefferson Nickel, Roosevelt Dime etc., all we hear is how crazy it is for someone to...
Yeah, I'm fine with this one as well. NT/MA
How about an MS68 1881-S Morgan worth $3-$5K?
There have been 14,386 SMS Kennedy Halves submitted for grading at NGC. Of those, only 416 (2.9%) have been designated Ultra Cameo. The...

Nailed it!
Not a trick, and both of you nailed it. My brother and I have started an NGC Registry collection of Franklin Half Dollars. He picks the coins...
Looks like a business strike but the toning is not market acceptable IMO, and the coin looks like it might have been lightly polished. The cheek...
Agreed, but that is usually on coins that circulate. This is a commem that has spent too long in government packaging. Thinking this coin is AT...
The point of AT is to create exceptional eye appeal that will drive a premium price. This is performed by a coin doctor who would certainly...
Why would someone artificially tone a coin to be brown & gunmetal blue. These commemoratives developed tab toning from their government packaging...
