Coin89 New Member United States 28 Posts	Posted 04/21/2019 11:32 pm I picked up four 1964 Kennedy half dollars at a flea market for 15 dollars. Below are the last two (see earlier postings for the other two). Do you these are MS 62 at least, or do the finger prints take away more points? What would you grade them. Are they pleasing to the eye? First 1964 Kennedy half dollar: Second 1964 Kennedy half dollar: Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 04/22/2019 05:19 am with John1, no eye appeal therefore bullion value only. '64 Kennedys are common, so they have to be very high MS to have any real value. Over 400 million struck. Nevertheless, four .900 fine Halves for $15 is an OK buy. Report this Post to the Staff
mdpmedia Pillar of the Community United States 3546 Posts	Posted 04/22/2019 05:46 am If you just want to take a chance to make it look a bit better, soak it one full day in xylene, an 'organic' solvent, then gingerly dislodge any remaining residue with a porcupine quill to avoid damaging the patina. This should assist to augment the eye appeal you desire but do not hold your breathe for the removal of fingerprints which are a result of human amino acids that actually etch into the patina permanently. Normally, for a coin like this I would not do anything to make it look any better unless it was a rare variety. This coin would be, however, one to practice cleaning on. Report this Post to the Staff
