    Cazkaboom One for all, all for me.

    Judging just off of pictures, I said 64.

    AU.

    I can see wear through the hair, ear, high points of Independence Hall.

    That cut in his ear, most distracting.

    I've broken up mint sets and spent coins like that.

    Face has lots of marks on the cheek. 63-64 tops.

    You spent money getting that coin graded?

    Getting back to your question, it is hard to tell from a picture it that is wear in the hair, but if not maybe a MS63.

    I went with 63 but would have gone lower if it was an option.

    I am by no means a Kennedy half expert or a TPG(or even a FPG), but I would say that PCGS got this one wrong. I don't mean to knock your coin, I just don't see this being a 63 or better. My guess would be a 60 at best. There's a lot of chatter and that mark on his ear looks pretty nasty. Take my opinion with a grain of salt, as you know what they say about opinions.

    For some reason I bid on this in a TT no BP auction. $4.00, probably not well spent. But the above question is good - why did someone slab this thing?
