<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WingedLiberty, post: 1960690, member: 26030&quot;]I bought it on eBay for an exorbitant price.&nbsp; What can I say, I wanted it.&nbsp; It broke a record for me for the biggest toning premium I&#039;ve ever paid on a coin (50x, yikes).&nbsp; Guide price on a common &quot;white&quot; 1966 SP66 is $20 and I paid $999. Nutty yes, but probably not as buried in it as you might think -- as I bet I could get most or all of my money out to another nutty collector of toners.&nbsp; This kind of material makes me go ga-ga, but I&#039;m weird I admit it.&nbsp; I definitely collect what I love and don&#039;t really care what others think and don&#039;t worry that much about big toning premiums if I can afford it. </p><p><br /></p><p>Honestly looking at close up images of this coin, I think it could grade SP67 or SP67+ if I sent it back in for reconsideration.&nbsp; If I could get an SP67+ grade on it, the toning premium drops to only 12x (which seems more reasonable in terms of a multiplier).</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, I meant to give a shout out to Robec, who birddogged this coin for me.&nbsp; He actually tried to buy it himself and made three offers to the seller but was turned down ... so he emailed me and told me to make a play.</p><p><br /></p><p>A zoom-in on this coin really brings out a few fantastic features. Check out the blue elevation chromatics in Kennedy&#039;s hair (wow).&nbsp; And I love the colorful orange/raspberry flow lines around the rim (double wow).&nbsp; I think it might be one of the most beautiful PCGS-graded colorfully-toned Kennedy Half Dollars I&#039;ve ever seen.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://mindstar.com/cointalk_photos/love_1966_Kennedy.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
