So, I just posted in my Franklin Proof thread about how I have a registry with this set and I wanted some uniformity in my photos.

I wanted to share my new photos...

Enjoy!

I've been opening proof sets lately, which are about the only way to find any half dollars around here :)

Sweet Kennedy's!

I've actually recently picked up a 1966 sp66 cam. It's in an old pcgs holder that has some damage. I'm sending it back in to give the coin a facelift. I'm sending it out with two nice raw 66sms JFKs. I'm doing it as an "experiment" to see how my grading compares with theirs, then compared to the current pcgs JFK.

Before they go out I will post pics of each and we can all take stab at it!

On the 1970-S, is that red toning or some sort of lighting from the photo?

Heres a photo of my newest coin. a 1966 SMS 66CAM. Some damage to the slab which is kind of annoying, but its too expensive to have it re slabbed. I like the coin though, so I can live with that.

A raw 66 that I mentioned above. I will send this guy in to see what PCGS thinks. What do you guys think? Does it compare to a certified cameo? I decided the other of the two raw coins isn't worth grading. Into the dansco it goes.

Absolutely no idea.

My guess is that someone had it in a folder for many many years and it was secured with a piece of tape? The folder toned the coin, except for the small square.

Your guess is as good as mine.
