stampvirgin Pillar of the Community United States 1247 Posts	Posted 05/24/2014 8:19 pm Picked up a 1964 Proof set today at my LCS. I looked up the accented hair variety on the internet. What I found was the reverse of the coin, without a doubt has the broken rays and flat "G". But the front doesn't have the characteristics noted in the link below for the obverse. http://www.ipotad.com/pages/ah2.html I haven't taken pictures yet. But I am a 100% sure about the reverse of the coin. Is it worth breaking up the set to have it graded? Here is an image I scanned of the coin. I looked at this under 20X magnification. (mostly because my upclose vision isn't so good anymore.) Edited by stampvirgin 05/24/2014 9:21 pm Report this Post to the Staff

eSinger Pillar of the Community United States 523 Posts	Posted 05/26/2014 4:36 pm Sure I do... See this thread.. https://goccf.com/t/177905 You have an Accented Hair's little brother! This is one to keep I would think. The verdict is still lacking on how rare these are but that thread will explain what you found very well.

Indian1 Pillar of the Community United States 3640 Posts	Posted 05/26/2014 8:11 pm Best to just leave it in the set. As I noted before in another thread I have found many of these in proof sets. Only ones i break out are the accented hairs. Report this Post to the Staff
Indian1 Pillar of the Community United States 3640 Posts	Posted 05/26/2014 8:31 pm Also all of my 1964 P/D mint sets have this same type reverse. As well as many of my 40% half's. 65 through 70 Report this Post to the Staff

As well as many of my 40% half's. 65 through 70 Yes they would have it and I read somewhere that they reverse is not exact, something with the rays/stars. The business strikes would have it as has been said. Where it is not common is the proofs. The point being that the author of the Kennedy book recognizes it as being more rare than the AH in the proofs. Notice the rarity factor. Quote: Let's take a look at that Kennedy book again, the AH variety has a URS of 19 which Mr. Wiles puts the mintage at 125,001 - 250,000. A PR67 is listed as $40 (1998). Well this variety in discussion has a URS of 17, in which Mr. Wiles puts the mintage around 32,001 - 64,000 (I was on the right track). A PR67 is listed as $50. If he deems it more valuable than the AH, then maybe he is on to something. Edited by eSinger 05/26/2014 8:39 pm Report this Post to the Staff

stampvirgin Pillar of the Community United States 1247 Posts	Posted 05/28/2014 12:27 pm Conder... Understood. It's all about supply and demand. Report this Post to the Staff

True..not yet anyway because it is unknown in the grand scheme of things..(AHLB), maybe some day it will be its own rarity and desired piece. Quote: Conder... Understood. It's all about supply and demand. Exactly, no demand but I would argue it is somewhat due to not being known very well. Edited by eSinger 05/28/2014 5:22 pm Report this Post to the Staff
