    Pictures are incredibly difficult to show the shiny luster; this coin stopped me in my tracks when it was recently revealed to me from a household sock drawer!!! My main question is with the imperfection area on the reverse under the word UNITED how the level of grading would be affected? I welcome any and all comments good or not so good about this coin. 1964 Half Weight.jpg PICT0010.jpg PICT0012.jpg PICT0014.jpg PICT0015.jpg PICT0017.jpg PICT0019.jpg

    That's a proof Accented hair Kennedy that has toned. It looks like it has a few hairlines, might go PF64.

    I first clicked into this thinking it would be another nice half stashed in a sock drawer in 64. Lots and lots of them were. We had just lost the man and many folks tucked away the 64 halves when they came out.... But @Pickin and Grinin nailed this one. That is a proof strike and needs to be in a capsule so it will stay that nice for the next generation. No fingerprints allowed on proof coins! LOL.... Fingerprints never go away on a proof.
