So I posted some pics on another forum I frequent and the results of a poll were about 70% Cam and the grade average was around PR66/67 also. I think I have taken the title of best wild coin found from her. Granted hers was from a bank roll and mine from an unopened proof set.

[QUOTE="Ethan, post: 1894037, member: 68800"]Hello everyone! I am Ethan and although I have visited in the past, I just signed up and got approved for membership. I thought I would show what I found this last weekend. I have been collecting Kennedy's since I was 12 or so. I only collected the Silver ones back then but I had to stop when I got a family and had to pay for college and stuff. So its 17 years later and the wife and I re-start searching halves from the bank. Two years now and we have found a few. We had one of our best nights recently so that has got her into the hobby. Up until this weekend she had found the best coin in the wild, a 1973 Rotated Reverse Kennedy in EF/AU. It is awesome. We I have been on a Cameo search for a few months and managed to buy a few 64 unopened proof sets along with a few others that were already opened. This would include the SMS sets also. Anyhow I had pulled the best possible choices for Cameo's out and was sorting through the rest looking for DDO's and such. I had found one DDO so I was happy. When I got to the best 4 Cameo candidates I started checking them and then I noticed the "I". You see I have 2 AH Kennedy's that I purchased so I knew what they looked like. I immediately check all the markers and low and behold I had one that I was pretty sure was Cameo. Was I a happy camper. So then I started looking at it for a grade and came up with a PR66/67.

I saw that I could do a poll here as well and thought why not? See what the results are. Please tell me what you think and guess at the grade. This will make three forums I frequent when given the time and I think I will enjoy it a lot. Thanks Ethan[/QUOTE]
