Results are in for 5 JFK RP Dollars.. Any guesses?

I ended up getting about 22 sets of the JFK coins. The first 10 or 15 I got were terrible, with obvious spots on the reverse of the dollars. I thought I would not send any in to grade, as they were obviously not going to get a 70. The last couple boxes I received (which were the last ones shipped, so probably a new die) revived my hopes for a 70! All of them were nicer than any other RP dollar I got in any previous sets. I picked the top 5, and took my chances. I think they all look pretty darn nice, with one having a tone spot on the reverse rim towards the right. Take a look and tell me what you think...

Every single one a 70. Guessed it!

 

in order:

No, possibly, no, no, no

 

Frank has it nailed, I think.
#2 with a shot, the others are probably 69s.

 

What are people seeing on number 5? I think 2 and 5 are the nicest.

 

all 69's ?

 

Photos have a tendency to be very unforgiving in that they pick up every last imperfection/failing that you might otherwise miss if you were holding the coin in hand. All 70's.........

 

22 sets!! .........

 

I have lots of friends and family! hehe

 

Pinprick behind the head obverse, what looks like a spot over '$1' reverse, and another small pinprick to the left of the crown.
Both of my sets had these same 'pinpricks', although not in the same places.

 

I'm with Frank, one 70 (number two) and four 69s.

 

Anyone see any issues with number 3 other than the toning spot? And should that keep a coin from a 70?

 

The mark on the right shoulder was my problem with it, but I was also wondering if the mark on the chin was on the coin or on the slab.

 

On which number?

 

Three.

 

All graded 69. These were the top 5 I had. I could see a few imperfections on a couple, but I thought 1 or 2 might make the grade. I put the ones I thought would be 69 in as 69 bait, hoping they would give them the 69, then see the obvious quality difference on the nicer ones and give them a boost to 70. Didn't work. Oh well, no risk, no reward! I will be receiving 14 Johnson sets... I will have to decide about those as well.

 

Oh, but thanks for everyone's help in helping me decide number 2 is the one to keep for myself

 

Wow that's my kind of luck.

 

Add me to that list but 1 of my silver medals did get a 70.
I sent in 2 sets

 

Wow, all 69's.

That sucks.
