<p>[QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 7755589, member: 37839"]Reveal time: Eddie and Collecting Nut stole part of my thunder. The ‘70D is the key date of the normal series Kennedys. Yes, 2,500,000 were minted. However, they were only available in special mint sets. One would think that because they were in mint packaging, they would be all high grade MS. On the contrary, due to deterioration of dies, few are ultra gem grade. 1970D was the last date of the 40% Silver JFK halves, so the dies were really beat up. This coin, while being very lustrous, shows some die clashes on the cheek, and delamination in the fields. The highest grade for 1970D graded by PCGS is 67+, and that is a $5,000 coin. At 67, it goes for $800, or more. This is a 66, and as it is, they go for $300-500. The date is a Kennedy conditional rarity. Well-struck specimens can sell even higher. This one is an okay, but far from hammered strike.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1328663[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
