gymcoachdon Pillar of the Community United States 717 Posts	Posted 03/18/2016 02:09 am WOW I don't know what to say... That looks even better out of the plastic. I say send it in, has to be a 67+. Can you take pictures straight on? Sometimes angled shots can hide some flaws. Absolutely beautiful coin though! Report this Post to the Staff

Biedercoins Pillar of the Community United States 1602 Posts	Posted 03/18/2016 07:05 am The new shots reveal some discoloration, but nothing major. One spot on the obverse may be a ding or just a discoloration. I can't see anything on the reverse. This is the first time that I've noticed Roberts gave Kennedy a small cowlick on the back of his head. As far as score, might go MS66? What would it take for a 68? edit: just noticed I'm approaching a milestone of 500 posts. Has to be a jingly contest for the weekend Edited by Biedercoins 03/18/2016 08:24 am Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 03/18/2016 12:43 pm Your half dollar is from a Proof Set, not a Mint Set. I do see a Mint Set in your second photo but the Proof Set has the foil seal with clear mylar while the Mint Set has the plastic Mint pogs and color strip mylar. Report this Post to the Staff
