What are you guys doing with your Kennedy's

Sent my submission of a bunch of coins last Saturday.... USPS Tracking still doesn't show anything beyond leaving my town. Hmmm....

Mighty mighty high hopes!!

 

I kept 1 raw in OGP packaging bc it "may" be a 69, and I sent the other off to NGC Monday. Here is the result



This is only my second submission to a TGP. Looks like it was a good choice.

 

Looks like the 70 DCAM/UCAM's are pretty much the norm. Of the 947 ANA Show First Strike labels ONLY, the 70's outnumber the 69's by about a 7:1 ratio....826 PR70DCAM vs 121 69DCAM (again, this is ONLY for the 'show labels'. I've read of a number of the examples ordered online being 'spotty', but as far as the show labels only, the 69's are far and few between, due to the mint perhaps seemingly wanting to take care of those who attended the show. For a single coin submission, props on the 'score'....not so much for after-market value (too volatile currently....where they'll settle is anyone's guess), but for pulling a 70 out of it. In my experience, with single coin submissions (which have only been for ultra-modern gold commems, or gold/plat/silver Buff's/Eagles, etc, and I don't normally 'do' single coin sub's), I see more of a 60/40 split 70's/69's. I seem to do much better on multiple coin submissions, for some odd reason. Congrats on banging out a 70UCAM!!

added: I wonder if it is in your best interest to get that raw one in a First Strike/Early Release holder???

 

Thanks for the props. I plan on holding onto both of the coins. I don't really flip coins very often, but the Gold Kennedy was so perfect looking I just hat to take a shot at the 70. Single submission is deffinitely NOT the way to go. NGC fees were $94 and USPS shipping + insurance cost me $20. Selling my OGP Kennedy to MCM wouldnt even cover my grading costs for the one NGC graded. I think Ill just keep it raw for now.
