Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6396 Posts	Posted 03/22/2008 12:59 am I've been looking at a lot of Kennedy half dollars lately. Here's a slabbed example. How would you all grade it? Report this Post to the Staff

InfiniteInterest Pillar of the Community United States 673 Posts	Posted 03/22/2008 01:35 am Wow, I have seen alot of those and not just lately. That one is one of the nicest I have seen in awhile. Very clean facial area, you don't see that much, but that hit to the neck has to hurt ! The reverse is also nice with just a few hits, mostly to the shield. I would say this coin may reach elite territory for Kennedy halves. I am gonna go out on a limb and give it an MS-66, but I think that hit to the neck might hold it back. Very nice coin ! A solid 65 for sure Report this Post to the Staff
copper nickel daddy Pillar of the Community United States 2224 Posts	Posted 03/22/2008 03:49 am I'd say MS 63; a few too many nicks on the reverse, IMO Report this Post to the Staff

gbchaosmaster Valued Member United States 328 Posts	Posted 03/22/2008 4:59 pm Too many nicks for BU 50cents, and I'd hit amac44's guesses down a notch. Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6396 Posts	Posted 03/22/2008 6:52 pm It's starting to look like SuperDave is right about digital photos exaggerating every little nick. Certainly PCGS didn't see the nicks and hits to be as severe as most posters thought. Many of my slabs seem to have abrasions that are basically invisible to the eye but they show up in the photos. This photo of the slab for example does not show the coin to be nearly as nice as it is. It may be time to invest in some equipment to improve my photo quality. Report this Post to the Staff
mr merc Valued Member United States 143 Posts	Posted 03/22/2008 9:15 pm Nice coin, I agree with you Jaobler. My coins never look as good in my pictures as they do in hand, especially the ones in slabs. Report this Post to the Staff
