hertzyinmn Valued Member United States 54 Posts	Posted 01/10/2026 3:29 pm Hello, I really wondered if anyone thought this Kennedy half I have is worth Grading . Would that really increase any value on this ? I think its cool as My other Kennedys never got like this. Thanks A head . No pun intended Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94586 Posts	Posted 01/11/2026 3:12 pm Interesting toning on this piece - but as noted above, not worth the cost to have it graded. Collecting since 1972.

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6448 Posts	Posted 01/12/2026 09:50 am The lack of value in grading is not specific to this coin. Recently, slabbed Kennedy half dollar proofs (40% silver) have frequently sold for around melt. That implies that the grading itself is a wasted exercise. You have a nice coin there, and many toned coin enthusiasts would appreciate it. I think it represents more potential profit raw than in a slab. Report this Post to the Staff
