Message:: [QUOTE="steve1942, post: 1279875, member: 21699"]PGCS is now placing the Kennedy in a white slab with the portrait label.  I collect Kennedy Prrofs and SMS. I have both from 1992 on and the ones produced in the 60's.  I must admit the new Kennedy slabs are very handsome, PCGS has finally hit on a slab to compete with the multitude of NGC products.  I won't pay the premium required to have my coins housed in these slabs but someone sure is.  When they first came out, I think they sold for less than the normal blue label  (buyers were unsure of the legitimacy of the slabs).  Within a day or two, the prices skyrocketed. Someday there will be a slew of "collectors" with a bunch of worthless labels, I just can't believe that a portrait label, one that says "First Strike", "Early Release", etc will much matter.  I have a 1982-s matte that is a beauty except for the fact that someone scrapped 1/4" of the satin finish off the rim, beneath the date, idiot.  Not sure what a beautiful satin coin with exposed silver is worth so I'm looking for a replacement.  Actually it's not the reduced cost that bothers me, it's just the fact that such a great coin is partially ruined.[/QUOTE]
