ddubs Valued Member United States 75 Posts	Posted 10/25/2016 11:46 pm I picked up these three Kennedy half dollars. I am working on a graded type set and wondering which of these are worth grading. First Kennedy half dollars I have owned and wondering how they would grade. Hoping for a star from NGC on at least one. I wish I could photograph the toning better. The reverses have nice pinks and oranges. How would you grade? Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 10/26/2016 2:25 pm 64, 63, 63. I wouldn't pay for any of these to get TPG'ed. As IGE said - it's better just to buy a 65 (or 66 if you LOVE them) and be done with it. From the photos I wouldn't bet on star's either. Stars are USUALLY only given when the tone is complete, and all of these have many breaks in the toning. Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 188560 Posts	Posted 10/26/2016 2:46 pm I like the tone, but I would not send in for grading. I agree, if you want to build a graded set, best to get them already graded. Let someone else deal with the hassle of getting them encapsulated.

upstate Pillar of the Community United States 3283 Posts	Posted 11/20/2016 08:24 am I think it's a 63 with attractive toning; if your into that sort of thing which most of us are to some degree. Plenty of coin collector are obsessed with toning, I think it has it's place especially older variety's (think seated high grade) but overall a nice addition to coin collecting mystique. Interesting to see such a young coin toning like this but I suppose at over 50 years it's coming along in age. (aren't we all) Report this Post to the Staff
