[QUOTE="NateBe123, post: 24240, member: 1660"]I went to my first coin show yesterday. I spent $22 which I was happy with. I bought a 1967 SMS (proof like) Kennedy Half for $2. Turned out to be a great deal after getting back from the local coin shop and the same coin for sale at $11. I also bought a 1969 Proof Kennedy half for $2, 1964 D AU for $3, and a 1968 proof like Kennedy half for $2. Then I bought the 1976 Bicentennial 3 Coin Silver proof set for $14. Where does this "proof like" term fall into as far as a numbered rating goes? Because after I did some research I found that proof like was a term that applied only to morgan dollars. The coins that I was told were proof like look better than uncirculated. Then today at the coin shop I bought the Dansco Kennedy Half Dollar book with the proof slots and when I got home I called my local bank asking if they had any Kennedy halves. They said they had 3 rolls so I was excited. I went over and traded 3 rolls of quarters for 3 rolls of Kennedy halves and opened them up. Sadly I found nothing before 1971. However, I got many different dates to fill the new Dansco album. Now I need to figure out how to put the coins in the Dansco album.[/QUOTE]
