GateKeep New Member United States 49 Posts	Posted 02/16/2017 5:45 pm I crossed a pretty big (for me) milestone today by finishing not one but TWO full pages in my Dansco 8166 Kennedy half dollar w/ Proofs collection. The first two pages now look pretty, with no empty holes! I'm pretty happy with most of the coins, though there's a few I'll keep an eye out for replacements on. I'm pretty satisfied with all my proofs, so I think most will stay. I lucked into finding a pretty nice 1970-D raw at my local coin shop. Finding examples of each of the bi-centennials was a bit challenging; I have to wonder how many of the 40% proofs and business strikes are mis-identified as the other. The 1965 isn't very lustrous, and has quite a few bag marks. My 1966 SMS is gorgeous, except for the black spots on the reverse (almost looks like mildew or something?) 1968-D and a fews of the 1970's business strikes are a bit discolored, but otherwise good. Here's some pics: Plenty more to go! most other pages are pretty spotty, and the silver proofs later in the set will increase costs a bit (especially that 2012.. sheesh!)
