<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Morgandude11, post: 1599006, member: 37839&quot;]Well, evidently, your experience does NOT translate to the toned Kennedy Half market.&nbsp; First of all, the OPs coin in question was NOT $17 coin--those of use who collect toned Kennedys know that one throws price guide out the window.&nbsp; I am totally not surprised that it went for $122, as that is what I would have expected with one of Shane&#039;s beautiful coins.&nbsp;&nbsp; I have bought and RESOLD coins for many times price guide when the toning is extremely attractive.&nbsp; Many of us who collect them have done so.&nbsp; Thus, it isn&#039;t what you think, but what the toned market will bear, and everybody but you KNEW that that coin would sell for many times over the alleged $17.&nbsp; As regards it being in &quot;below average condition&quot;&nbsp; and &quot;being in a NGC slab,&quot; neither of those is germane to the situation.&nbsp; MS 64 is NOT below average for a toned coin---most toned coin collectors are more concerned with how the coin looks than the assigned grade.&nbsp; The slab is for &quot;market authenticity&quot; for us, and we don&#039;t have to have MS 67 toned coins to have something that is a work of art.&nbsp; Evidently, toning isn&#039;t a priority to you, and as such, you shouldn&#039;t be giving advice to people who love toned coins, as I was correct in my assessment of it as being negative and counterproductive.&nbsp;&nbsp; John Anthony wanted to buy an attractively toned Kennedy, and I applaud his efforts to get it from a very reliable and credible dealer, who is well-known around here.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
