Yup John!!:devil:Tourist trap:devil: I picked my Kennedy spoon up August 1962 @ a Whitehouse tour ,there was a tourist shop. I had to pay $5.95 or $7.95???+S/H??? to order from Rogers in Sterling Silver if you did not want the steel/chrome 1. I got about Oct 1962? if I remember correctly!?! I just wish It was no opened + still sealed in the box w/paper etc that would make the $ a lot higher if I sold it.but no way am I selling it!!!:kewl:
It's a cool piece, don't misunderstand me. I wouldn't mind owning it myself as a curio. That punch-out that dwhiz posted isn't my cup of tea though, as far as exonumia goes. It's sort of creepy.
Another One for the Registry Set 1964 DDO FS-104 PR66 PCGS Pop 5/1 Just a few more to go! Enjoy! Best Regards, :hail: George
I am looking for a 1964 accented hair Kennedy. Is there a "P" and an "S"? What about any other mintmarks?
Here is a page of accented hair proofs on eBay. The variety only occurs on proof coins of 1964. They were minted in Philadelphia and have no mint mark... http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odk...313&_nkw=accented+hair&_sacat=41102&_from=R40
Yeah the Accented Hairs were actually the first Kennedy halves, struck only in proof. Jackie Kennedy asked that the hair be reworked before the business strikes were made. So, proofs only. Best Regards, :hail: George
Even 1964 Kennedys that grade MS 65 are worth something and MS 66 will bring a substantial premium. Just look on eBay. These coins will always have a collector base not only for type coins, but also popularity with collectors. This popularity persists today. The Mint strikes Kennedy halves every year, even today, even with different finishes and silver content.

Anyone got a 2013 yet? I didn't even realize they were out, until I was playing around on the US Mint's new site. A quick jump to eBay confirms that the TPG are turning out the PF69's and 70's.
I've got the 05-P in 69 - 546/7. It's a high pop, but it's good enough for me. I love the satin finish...
I found it on feebay, I had bought a Morgan pop out, my GF really liked it so I got her this one as she is a big Kennedy fan
I saw one on eBay, but it did not look half as nice as yours. Priced at $49, had it in my watch list and it sold.
