westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7641 Posts	Posted 06/11/2019 6:33 pm I'm pictured overloaded! I think your coin is a proof and is not from any special mint set. Grade? Proof 67 Send it in for TPG? No, waste of money. My opinion only...others may render a different opinion. Report this Post to the Staff

T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 06/11/2019 7:13 pm PF-66 saliva spot on obverse on top of O in GOD . Not sure why reverse looks very weak to me . I am not a Kennedy collector . Is the design supposed to look that mushy ? Not a SMS coin . Edited by T-BOP 06/11/2019 7:17 pm Report this Post to the Staff

MJD Valued Member United States 70 Posts	Posted 06/11/2019 8:08 pm There is no such thing as a 1968 SMS coin. The SMS coins ended in 1967 and regular proofs began again. The 68 Kennedy proofs are very common and are generally not worth grading unless they have cameo contrast. The one you have looks like the more typical non cameo proof. Here's a picture of my PR-68 DCAM for comparison. Report this Post to the Staff
