I love Kennedy proofs, I too started out with just the short set and eventually expanded it to include all the proofs through 2012. Here are some quick photos of a few I picked out of the album real quick to show how the proofs have evolved from the early years to present.

Very nice!

The current "key" to the series is the silver Matte finish 1998 coin
Correct. There are three different 1998-S Kennedy half dollars: Clad Proof, Silver Proof, and Silver Matte Finish. The Silver Matte Finish is the key.

Awesome, good luck smokeriderdon! I will be at the same show, I assume (Vienna), but it's not on my shopping list this time.
Hope you find one for a good price and enjoy the show!

Never even heard of that movie... I will check it out.

Picked up this coin for my set. Its a 1970 PCGS 68 DCAM. Thats my 3rd 68 DCAM in this short set, but I dont think the rest are within my range for that grade... possibly the 64.

Either way, 3 down, 5 to go for the short set with accented hair.

Got this for about $20 below FMV. Enjoy:

Now I'm going to have to unpack my proof set and check out if they are cameo.

Nice addition to your set HONDO

OK so now I have reviewed all my proof sets here are the results.

1958-1964 in original plastic with yellow envelops, no cameos except for cents and nickles. The 1958 Wheat cent is outstanding!

1968 & 1969 no cameo 1970 cameo Kennedy but with the cloudy toning starting on the edges.

1971-1980 clad sets some cameos but their clad and do not interest me.

1776-1976 three coin proof all cameo but not deep.

1992-2012 silver sets all with deep cameo for all silver coins, these Kennedy's are really sharp and attractive.

It looks like I might have to follow HONDO's example and add the 1964-1970 proofs to my graded cameo set.

Go for it muddler... It's actually a very fun short set. Mine is setup as a registry set which is also fun.

I am going to pm you about a coin you may like
