Question About Proof Kennedy Halfs?

ICG is a decent grading company but they can be a bit enthusiastic with high grade moderns. ICG PR70DC= everyone elses PR69DC so no, they will be worth what you paid and not $400. PCGS Price Guide only applies to PCGS graded coins and even then, the values tend to be on the high side.

Do not use the crooks price guide. It is as over inflated as their reputation. I use Coin World prices as a general guide. They are decent retail values.

As for the TPGs themselves, ANACS and ICG are the only two I will ever use. I will buy coins in the slabs of the thieves, but will never submit to them ever again.

ICG grades to the same standards as everyone else. Its simply a matter of opinion as to the "rank".

What I stated was reality, not a theory and ebay results back it up.

You got lucky by finding a "dealer" that has an overinflated opinion of ICG. With buying habits like that, he won't be in business for long and there is ZERO CHANCE of ICG ever overtaking NGC in anything. You definitely got a good deal, not so much for the dealer who is now stuck with overpriced inventory but that is his problem and not yours. I certainly cannot fault you for selling to a dealer making an offer like that
