Not as impossible as many other coins, but for this Kennedy collector working for years at his PF 69 UC set, this was my white whale.... Getting it in UC at a reasonable price has been quite the search...
Congrats. What made this your white whale? Are these hard to find, or were you looking for a particular attribute? (not a Kennedy collector, just curious)
I don’t know, the Kennedy bust and the Great Seal look like they have a lot of contrast. Nice coin! Although you can’t beat the Ultra Cameo coins in silver, which, of course, were not made in ‘71.
1971 was a bad year for proof Kennedys. UC's just weren't easy to find, and thus priced accordingly. When I started collecting them, I thought they'd all be pretty easy to acquire. I didn't realize how tough some of the early ones would be to get in that grade.
