jbuck Moderator United States 187942 Posts	Posted 04/22/2015 10:09 am I think he was saying that his post has a lot of photos (pic heavy). A warning to those with slower connections.

Is there a problem with the Earth's gravitational pull? "Great Scott"! Sounds like Mister Kairu had his own Doc Brown moment! Nice coins Mickymus, and ! Report this Post to the Staff

Mikeymus Valued Member United States 110 Posts	Posted 04/22/2015 7:15 pm would it be safe to say the 1964 Kennedy's are proofs? I heard there was a design change in 1965 at the request of Jackie Kennedy. Report this Post to the Staff
GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 04/22/2015 11:01 pm They all look like business strike coins. The design change was in 1964. Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 187942 Posts	Posted 04/23/2015 10:05 am There were business strikes and proof issued by the Philadelphia mint in 1964.

Mikeymus Valued Member United States 110 Posts	Posted 04/23/2015 8:06 pm Don't the proofs retain their shininess while the business strikes dull over time? And what would the grades be on my Kennedy's? BTW I also inherited around 8 Franklin halves from my grandmother as well. Hmm come to think of it I have all 3 of the 20th century Half dollars Walking Liberty half dollar Franklin half dollar and Kennedy half dollar. Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 187942 Posts	Posted 04/24/2015 11:21 am The difference between proof and business strike is how they are made. Coins only dull over time from circulation, so if you have a proof and business strike that has never circulated, both will be shiny. The difference is how they are shiny; for example, the proof will have mirrored fields. Proof coins also have sharp edges and squared rims.
