1967 Kennedy Half non-SMS MS66 PCGS 'Picasso Toning' One of my all-time favorite toners: "Picasso toning." I snagged this one off of eBay a couple of years ago for a song--and wouldn't give it up for a whole opera!
The toned dime giveaway prompted me to dig this one out-the reverse has gorgeous pastel-looking toning. My husband got it in change and his first impression was that it was dirty or had been burned until got we closer look.
Thanks a lot gbroke. If people are interested in other nice-looking toned Kennedys I have a lot of excellent photos by Todd Pollock both on my site and in the PCGS Registry Set links. I have never sent him the 1964 SMS because I don't send irreplaceable coins even via Registered Mail. I have to meet him personally at a show for that one.
I'm going to try this and again these photos just don't capture the color in this... If anyone has some photo suggestions, I'm all ears.. this coin has some iridescent rainbow toning and some great detail
