Thank you for your interest! (PCGS Image) Edited by oih82w8 06/04/2013 06:36 am Report this Post to the Staff

supgog Pillar of the Community Israel 2420 Posts	Posted 06/04/2013 07:38 am I know pretty much nothing about grading Kennedys, but something looked strange to me on the shield on the back. I've went to NGC's website, and the shield indeed looks different in their picture.. http://www.ngccoin.com/coin-grading...Dollars.aspx So.. I guess there was some design change when moving from silver halves to cu-ni halves. Could someone please expain? (p.s. I hold 0 non-silver halves, so I had nothing to compare it to).

oih82w8 Pillar of the Community United States 7840 Posts	Posted 06/04/2013 09:11 am I am sure that there were transitional growing pains when changing over from Silver Clad (1965 - 1970 40%) to CuNi clad (1971 - present), and this one does have a weak shield outline, particularly at the top (thanks for pointing that out). The dies were probably used beyond their expectancy punching out 302 Million plus. From what I understand the 1964 Kennedy's were supposed to be a commemorative of his death and the dies were made with greater detail and struck with greater pressure to bring out the details.

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10038 Posts	Posted 06/06/2013 12:52 pm I looked and drooled, but I am not yet capable of grading them. Has this one been checked to see if its a DDO? To me the FS102 is not anything special, but I like the FS101. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?
