[QUOTE="BR549, post: 878052, member: 7110"][IMG]http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n230/woodyoneII/accent_hair.jpg[/IMG] img courtesy of NCG The 1964 Proof Accented Hair Kennedy half dollar is characterized by heavily engraved "wishbone" effect above Jack's left ear. As explained, the lower serif of the I is missing and the right hand rays on the reverse are slightly broken. Since these were the first to be minted, there are a limited supply due to the master die being changed early in the production run. Higher PR grades command higher prices, ones that have cameo contrast on the devices are highly sought after and command the highest prices, often 4 digits. The market fluctuates a bit on these higher grades, supply and demand creates spikes that even out. Lower grade examples can be bought raw for $25-$35, graded coins of course will be a bit higher. Most of the flat pack proof sets have been picked through, but often times you will run across one that has a Accented Hair enclosed. Some sellers do not even realize they are selling one, so cherry picking is fun. Happy Collecting[/QUOTE]
