I don't have much experience with Franklin's, but I would agree with you on a 64. The luster and eye appeal are worthy of a 65, but I don't know how much weight that head hit will carry.

 

1964 Kennedy Half Dollar (PCGS Secure Plus PR67). One of the most beautiful colorfully-toned Kennedy Half Dollars I've ever seen. This monster came out of a sealed OGP Proof Set that I bought for $125 on eBay (none of the other coins in the set were toned). I put this coin through PCGS's Secure Plus grading service so it could be sniffed for illegal chemicals. It passed with flying colors and I just got the results back on Thursday ... Proof 67.



It's pretty wild seeing this one mixed in with my Colorfully-Toned Half Dollar Type Collection. The one-two punch you get at the very end, with the color-rich Proof 1963 Franklin and Proof 1964 Kennedy is pretty outrageous. Two other coins in this set are Proofs: the Seated Liberty and the Barber, both of which are graded Proof 63.

 

God I love that toned flowing hair what a beauty!!

 

just got this one in the mail today bought it as a vf details scratches for a very reasonable price I couldn't see any scratches in the pics so I went ahead I was anxious to get it I looked at it in the light with a loupe and could only see one tiny old pin scratch that is so inconsequential it looks like normal circulation wear is so nice I think I could crack it out and get it resubmitted as a clean vf 20

 

Is a s-185 2nd hair if anyone wants to know

 

Absolutely LOVE the type set, and that 64 Kennedy is amazing--one if the nicest I have ever seen.

 

Not a presidential coinage fan as I've said before but that Kennedy has amazing color and is a beautiful coin the whole set is!!

 

robec, that 55 is a star... and wing's 64 is supernova ! Beaut's !!

 

Picked this up as part of a folder set I got a steal on. VF+......?

 

Craigslist find

 

I bought these at a flea market on Sunday. All pretty circulated and the V-nickel that I found amongst buffaloes has seen better days, but they all were pleasing finds either way.

 

This was the last one I bought, but since I can only upload 10 images, here it is in conjunction with the last post

 

One of those dream empresses I never thought I would own but luckily one surfaced a bit lower then my normal budget for an ancient coin, and for her it was basically a steal. Even the crummiest of grades are double of what I paid for this. Its got some faults but I can live with them since many of her coins tend to have a fault of some sort usually.

It has a somewhat cool die clash of the portrait on the right reverse field & I love die clashing.

I shot some pictures of it to get a better view.

I'm so excited I wanted to put it up again......sorry

 

Nothing to be sorry about; heck, if I got a steal like that, I'd be posting it all over the place as well! Awesome find!

 

Now those pics are muuuuuch better.
