<p>[QUOTE="stldanceartist, post: 7522615, member: 13307"]Some of you might remember when I found my first <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/post-your-kennedy-halves.199544/page-62" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/post-your-kennedy-halves.199544/page-62">1967 SMS Kennedy Half QDO</a> (it came back from NGC as MS66UCAM) - well, today I found my second one!</p><p><br /></p><p>And I'll tell you what... (<i>Tom Segura fans, anyone?</i>) I learned something new with this coin. It's not a Quadrupled Die Obverse - as I was told with the first one - it's at least Quintupled Die Obverse.

[QUOTE="stldanceartist, post: 7522615, member: 13307"]Some of you might remember when I found my first [URL='https://www.cointalk.com/threads/post-your-kennedy-halves.199544/page-62']1967 SMS Kennedy Half QDO[/URL] (it came back from NGC as MS66UCAM) - well, today I found my second one! And I'll tell you what... ([I]Tom Segura fans, anyone?[/I]) I learned something new with this coin. It's not a Quadrupled Die Obverse - as I was told with the first one - it's at least Quintupled Die Obverse. EDIT: ([URL='http://varietyvista.com/12%20Kennedy%20Halves/DDO%20Detail%20Pages/1967PDDO006.htm']According to Variety Vista it's a Sextuple Die Obverse[/URL]!) Can see it clear as day with this second coin. Whole Coin: [ATTACH=full]1299171[/ATTACH] The great news is that it's another UCAM/DCAM (although I'm a bit concerned about the non-cameo spot right above his ear) and it does not have the same struck through grease issues as the first one that really hurt the eye appeal. It does have a couple large gashes on his cheek, though, so it might even out at the same net grade as the first (assuming it also garners the UCAM designation.) The even [I]greater[/I] news is that the strike is better/clearer - so I can clearly see it's a Quintupled Die - easiest to see on the T of LIBERTY: [ATTACH=full]1299172[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1299173[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1299177[/ATTACH] Huzzah!!! Another coin for the upcoming NGC submission![/QUOTE]
