Post your Kennedy Halves!!

Another sleeper (in my opinion). Just picked this one up. One of the lowest mintages of the Kennedy pre 1990s 90% silver proofs, and as an NGC star.......

Do you have any idea as to which Die Varietiy it is?

 

DDO-1 is what I am told.

 

The DDO-001 has a nice marker, a short die gouge south (left hand side) from the upper L in LIBERTY.

 

Nice! U may want to ck out mint mark. Rpm are common but a few are semi rare.

 

Two Kennedy's just back from NGC this week.

 

These are the current set that I'm working on since I finished my Eisenhowers. This one is one of my two pocket pieces.

 

Here are a couple of mine. Nothing too exciting here, but I still like them! I've also started experimenting with Microsoft Paint and photos that I've taken of my slabbed coins to get everything in 1 picture.

2006-S ~ PCGS PR69DCAM


1994-S ~ PCGS PR69DCAM Silver

 

Looking good

 

Thanks jello!

 

I have one of these just not slabbed!

Nice Coin!

 

Those 1994-S Silver Kennedy half dollars, give the reverse a second look. Wiles has listed two different Doubled Die Reverses for that issue.

Admittedly, the DDR’s are not that pronounced on the 94-S Silver as other dates, but they were strong enough for Wiles to list in the CONECA files. One of our members here reported the DDR-002.

 

I hadn't heard about that. Where would this doubled die be located on the reverse? Also, wouldn't PCGS put something on the label if it was a doubled die?

 

Here's one with a bluish haze.

 

Send atrox001 a PM on these boards, he takes better pictures then I do (LOL) plus he is the one that first reported the DDR-002 to CONECA that Wiles listed. Both the DDR-001 and DDR-002 on the 94-S Silver has doubling on the stars around the rim, stars between the rays and on E PLURIBUS UMUM.

PCGS will only list the Doubled Dies that are in the Cherrypickers’ Guide. If you wanted to pony up the $24 attribution fee, PCGS would put “Minor Variety” on the label but wouldn’t tell you which one it is. I would recommend saving your money and if you really want to find out which variety you have, send the coin along with $8 to Wiles and he will tell you which on it is, or Larry might even send you photos of the markers to look for (for free).

EDITED TO ADD: If you are unable to get ahold of atrox001, I will try to take some photos for you and post them here, but Larry has a better set up for taking great photos of varieties.

 

Thanks Caleb! I don't see anything with my loupe but I'll check around and see what I can find.

Edit: How do you send a PM to someone on here?
