Entry post. Today, on my birthday, a Rhode Island commem in prooflike. This was the state I was born in. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Congrats! I'm glad you recognize the "slab" is completely dis-reputable. However, the coin appears to be genuine, and generally problem free....

No, you appear to have DDO-013: http://varietyvista.com/12%20Kennedy%20Halves/DDO%20Detail%20Pages/1964DDDO013.htm Take a look especially at the...

What an unfortunately cluttered, ugly design for a reverse. If you have to take up a large portion of the coin with a legend explaining what the...
Haha, don't worry, they are not real. These are the sorts of things you might find in a museum gift shop.
R-1 is super common, so I'd use the generic date value. R-3 doesn't usually have much of a premium. What is the rarity of the C-4 and C-5?...
