<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gronnh20, post: 8099067, member: 73224&quot;]The 1966 SMS Kennedy half with no FG is a variety that is listed in the Red Book, CPG, and is recognized as a variety by the TPGs.&nbsp; I went on the hunt for one.&nbsp; This is a hard variety to look for by using pictures.&nbsp; The toughest pics to find this variety were the actual SMS sets.&nbsp; There are not a lot of pictures of individual coins when folks sell the entire set.&nbsp; While hunting this coin I found that I could bypass any coin that had cameo devices.&nbsp; They all had FG.&nbsp; There were quite a few pics where I wanted to pull the trigger.&nbsp; I finally settled on one.</p><p><br /></p><p>I stared at this coin for quite a while before I bought it.&nbsp; The coin is in an NGC holder.&nbsp; For some reason if you look on the NGC website they don&#039;t list this variety in their Variety Plus section.&nbsp; <a href="https://www.ngccoin.com/variety-plus/united-states/half-dollars/kennedy-half-dollars-1964-date/?page=1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ngccoin.com/variety-plus/united-states/half-dollars/kennedy-half-dollars-1964-date/?page=1" rel="nofollow">https://www.ngccoin.com/variety-plus/united-states/half-dollars/kennedy-half-dollars-1964-date/?page=1</a>&nbsp;&nbsp; Every other date within the Kennedy series that has a no FG is shown in their Variety Plus section.&nbsp; Maybe it is just an oversight by NGC.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>My pics are a little dark but, there should be enough to take a guess.&nbsp; You can clearly see the reverse is showing weak devices.&nbsp; The round blobs above E Pluribus Unum.&nbsp; The lack of detail in the tail feathers.&nbsp; Mushy wings.&nbsp; Lack of feather detail in the legs.&nbsp; What do you see?&nbsp; There&#039;s a poll.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1408058[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1408059[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1408060[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1408061[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
