Interesting!

 

You mean you don't got one yet? What the hell is the matter with you? You're not trying to discover one in the ground, are you?

Look at this. This was a dated 2000-coin bag they found, and this here looks like a die chip on the earlobe. If it is, it's an error. If it's on a first issued coin, it's a first issued error. How many collectors do you think got a first issued error? These are certified, too, they come with certificates. You NEED one of these!

Just a caution, though. I heard NGC is having trouble finding suckers with this guy. They're considering another approach. Undisclosed sources say it's going to involve the giving away of balloons with every five purchases at the retail price. I think that's a great move. I don't know any coin collector who doesn't love free balloons!

 

If you're not familiar with the story, here is the Coin Week link and NGC video:

It takes something pretty unusual for me to buy from RCTV

 

Here's my favorite Kennedy




Also my first venture into grading submission.

 

Supposedly the first released bag of 64-Ps...all are baggy as typical...I wonder if they have the type 1 rev. or the type 2 rev. or a combo of the both?

 

It does look like the type 1 rev. of accented hair...small breaks in the ray between the two stars adjacent the eagle's wing.

I collect them because because they are an attractive coin and easy to find @ minimum cost.

Got this as change at a gas station not too long ago. Thought it was pretty cool since I don’t see these in the wild very much.

These are in my Capitol plastic 20th century set. These images were taken in July 2013.
I should open it and take new photos, maybe some day.

 

I was taking inventory of Kennedy Half Dollars that my father left me. I have about 200+, but nothing spectacular, but I thought I would carefully go through them to see if there is something I missed. I know I have some silver proof half dollars that I got from my father. I have started buying the Silver Proof Set each year and the Limited Edition Silveer Proof Set, since I started collecting. I've got the Limited Edition every year starting in 2012 and the Silver Proof Set since 2009, mainly, because I knew there was a Silver Proof Half Dollar, Quarters, and Dimes every year. The Limited Edition Silver Proof Set had they same thing in addition the American Silver Eagle Proof Set for W. 2021 was a nice year with the S AND W.
