[QUOTE="Caleb, post: 1875207, member: 32795"]The “Accented Hair” version of the Proof 1964 half dollar is nothing new among those that collect the series and I believe both PCGS and NGC have been acknowledging this on their labels for free over the past twenty years (well before their variety attribution programs). Speculation or “educated guess” puts the population of “Accented Hair” to “Normal Hair” 1964 Proof half dollars at between 10 – 15 percent of the total population of 3.95 million sets produced that year. The “Accented Hair” version is notorious for having “milk spots” developed on the coins. The “Accented Hair” version can still be cherry-picked by searching 1964 Proof Sets, value really isn’t an issue until the coin grades PR68CAM or higher and PR67DCAM or higher. If you are interested in collecting the series and want to buy an “Accented Hair” 1964 Proof half dollar instead of finding one, go ahead. I doubt the price will be any cheaper or higher later on; the price might go up in the near term being that this is the fiftieth anniversary of the series but the price will fall back in a short period of time. Bottom line is that this is a capitalistic society and “supply versus demand” rules (there are more “Accented Hair” Kennedy half dollars out there then there are collectors for them). Some people may be buying on speculation, we will see if they are still standing when the music stops.[/QUOTE]
