<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gboulton, post: 1057741, member: 27043&quot;]In the case of THIS coin, I&#039;d agree...not worth sending in to be graded, as gbroke said...the white spots will most definitely keep it from grading high enough to be worth the cost.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d have to disagree strongly, however, with the statement that &quot;...there isn&#039;t a reason to send a Kennedy in for grading.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>As examples:</p><p><br /></p><p>Some of the earlier proof issues (including 64) are quite tough to come by in cameo or deep cameo, and in higher grades can command a premium that easily justifies the cost of having them slabbed.&nbsp; A simple PR69 CAM prices out at $200+ on most guides (including PCGS&#039;s) and a DCAM can eclipse that in PR68.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some of the varieties can also be tough to come by in high grades, especially again proof cameo examples.&nbsp; High end CAM accented hair proofs, for example, can bring $500+, and MS65 and above 74-D DDOs can justify the cost of grading as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, the mid-late 60&#039;s runs of SMS coins can be pricey in high grades, and some of the modern satin finish coins (even as recent as 2010 issues) can bring $1000+ at 69.</p><p><br /></p><p>Last but not least, the 98 matte proof coin...generally accepted as THE key coin of a Kennedy set, can bring $200+ sight unseen, and well into 4 figures if graded high by one of the top tier TPGs.</p><p><br /></p><p>To be sure, there aren&#039;t as many Kennedys that justify the expense, but to say none are worth it is, imo, inaccurate.&nbsp; There are, indeed, 5-10 coins in the series that, with the right combination of grade and features, can make it worth the time, effort, and money to have a TPG give them a look.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
