<p>[QUOTE=&quot;airedale, post: 164836, member: 4695&quot;]Interesting you would mention that Speedy. If it is a MS business strike exhibiting a mirror finish it would have to be a proof like or deep mirror proof like. If it is a SMS then it would be a cameo or deep cameo.</p><p><br /></p><p>I wonder how the <b>experts</b> tell them apart at grading time as I have seen some pretty rough SMS Kennedy&#039;s still in the SMS package that could easily pass for business strikes as far as luster or lack thereof. I think somewhere I read that the SMS coins may have bolder lettering on them. I may have also read that the mistake may have been made more than once as a high grade business strike is not an inexpensive coin. A higher grade SMS coin is not particularly expensive without the cameo or deep cameo designation. Look at the spread here if only for information purposes <a href="http://www.pcgs.com/prices/frame.chtml?type=date&amp;filename=kennedy_half_mod" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.pcgs.com/prices/frame.chtml?type=date&amp;filename=kennedy_half_mod" rel="nofollow">http://www.pcgs.com/prices/frame.chtml?type=date&amp;filename=kennedy_half_mod</a>&nbsp; . A MS PL or DMPL would go off of the charts if someone were looking for it. Is it a PCGS or NGC coin?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
