[QUOTE="StevenHarden, post: 4672252, member: 67639"]Hello All. It has been some time since I last posted on here. I would like to revisit an item from a previous post I created back on March 16th, 2020. That post was called "Mixed Lot of Errors #5 - Comments?". The item I am looking at in particular is the first item in that post, ERROR #27. As described in that post, ERROR #27 is in reference to the Kennedy half dollar from a 1966 U.S. Special Mint Set. That Kennedy half was considered to be struck through a large piece of string/cord on BOTH the obverse and reverse. Below are some photos of the item I previously posted. I am intending on having this piece sent to NGC for grading. I am curious what everyone believes would be the best way to submit to NGC in order to yield the highest value later on. I wonder if breaking the coin out and sending it in individually would allow for more focus on it alone, but I also wonder if a collector would prefer the set to be kept together in a multi-coin holder. From my viewpoint it is neat to see the error sitting the way it was originally placed in the SMS holder, but I am curious how an error collector might view it. I have never seen NGC grade an SMS set still in the original plastic because I believe it would not comply with their "air-tight" policy, but that would be an interesting idea. So, please give me your thoughts on how best you think this piece should be submitted to NGC. As always, any comments are greatly appreciated and any discussion is encouraged. Now to the photos: [ATTACH=full]1151533[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1151534[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1151535[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1151536[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1151537[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1151538[/ATTACH] THANK YOU.[/QUOTE]
