<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 26589607, member: 27832&quot;]I actually ordered <i>five</i> (the limit) of the gold ones from the Mint in hopes of getting a good one (and, truth be told, maybe flipping a couple). Every one of them had some sort of hazy ring crossing the fields. I returned them all.</p><p><br /></p><p>I eventually bought one on eBay, paid something like $930 all in when gold was at $1200. It has a couple of tiny copper spots, but nothing as objectionable as the ones I got straight from the Mint. I talked a lot about making it a pocket piece, but never had the nerve.</p><p><br /></p><p>And the reason they&#039;re 3/4 ounce is because that&#039;s enough gold to match the <i>size</i> of a standard Kennedy half. I was really happy that they made that decision, and bitterly disappointed when the 2016 Mercury/SLQ/Walker gold commemoratives turned out to be shrinky-dink mockeries of the originals.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
