got this in the mail today, sometimes I love coming home to open the mail... got a 1969 proof set, this is the Kennedy
:thumb:Chin+Ear do have some doubling:yes:! Almost looks like the 1966+1967 DDO but a 1993.you may want to send it off to Wexler or Potter before u send it any TPG it could be a new discovery:yes:
These three have been sitting in a "junk silver" tube of mine for about a year now. I couldn't let them stay there.
^^^ Good Lord that's beautiful. I must have one ASAP! The Mint hasn't admitted to making any yet! http://www.usmint.gov/about_the_mint/index.cfm?action=coin_production&allCoinsYear=2013#starthere EDIT: Now I read their fine print... "The numbers do not include the proof or uncirculated quality (UNC sets) coins produced by the Mint." Beautiful! Congrats & I am jealous! What is your secret for your amazing photos?! I got these (below) out of rolls from the bank and sold them already. Now I wish I'd kept them since I found others I already had. Plus why am I selling silver? I think I'm going senile. I told my sister that I think I have early-onset Alzheimer's and she said "What do you mean 'early-onset'??"
I always ask for Kennedy and Ike rolls when I'm at the bank. This week she gave me 4 rolls of Kennedys. Nothing to speak about until I came across these three. They stood out like a sore thumb. Toned, lustrous and nice grades. Best $1.50 I ever spent on some coins.
I cant keep track of what I've posted in this thread and others from my Kennedy Proof collection. Here's a random year. Hey, why not?
Kennedy half dollar is 1 coin since the 1st day it wasIssue I have a rolls sealed from the last 49years.Next year the 50th I just wonder what will be Av half??
Kennedy silver proofs are my all time favorite coin. The frosted/mirror finish is outstanding and makes my knees weak. =) Started stacking in February of this year and ended up crossing over to coins. I just bought the following this week and will post pics soon. 1991-S Kennedy PCGS PR69DCAM 1992-2011-S Silver Kennedy PCGS PR69DCAM 2011-S Silver Kennedy PCGS PR69DCAM First Strike 2013-S Kennedy PCGS PR69DCAM Birth Set 1992-S Silver Kennedy NGC PF69 Ultra Cameo 1995-S Silver Kennedy NGC PF69 Ultra Cameo 1998-S Silver Kennedy NGC PF69 Ultra Cameo 1999-2008-S Silver Kennedy NGC PF69 Ultra Cameo 2000-2001-S Silver Kennedy Non graded My plan is to have a complete set of NGC and PCGS 90% silver proofs in both 69 and 70. I think the 70 will take a bit longer and obviously alot more money. Another options is maybe just to get 95,96 and 97 in grade 70.
I would say do PF70 for whatever you can afford to, or can find, and 69 for the rest. 69 are very affordable IMHO, and I actually own zero 70's. I would NOT think you would want both a full set of 69 and a separate full set of PF70, but that's just me. I love this coin too!
I think you are right. It would be pointless to have both PF69 and PF70. Seeing as my NGC set isn't yet complete, I will probably just buy the remaining in PF70. I still need 93,94,95,96,09-12. I am really happy as they arrived today. Will snap some pics later. I noticed that the 2001 has some toning!!! Here is a picture of my none graded 00-02!!! I love them!!!
