[QUOTE="Tim C, post: 2107192, member: 71569"]Ethan, I share you confusion and frustration. The coin I had (have) in our set graded by PCGS SP67CAM and attributed as the FS-801 I thought was the real critter too until last fall when I got a package from Tim Wissert (you will see his name in the CONACA files in several denominations as the one reporting the variety) with a raw 1965 Kennedy half dollar. The doubling on this raw 1965 Kennedy half was stronger then the FS-801 we currently had in our set and after examining the three coins side by side, we felt it would be good to send them in our next box to Wiles (remember that we have to pay Wiles $7 per coin to look at so we are a little fussy on which ones to submit). Like 19Lyds stated, we are trying to build a reference set of Kennedy varieties, I only know of a few collectors doing this, one more that participates on these boards which is who I go to for information. Would it be nice if Wiles would write a new book on Kennedy varieties, you bet! But please remember that Dr. Wiles is a “one man operation” and lately he has been stuck doing the Lincoln Cent e-books (when he gets time to do the Kennedy series is anyone’s guess). Happy hunting, Tim[/QUOTE]
