1970 D Kennedy half went for $103.50. It's described as "Choice Uncirculated".  https://www.ebay.com/itm/1970-D-40-...3.l10137.c10 I've been watching 1970 D's and lately they seem to be averaging $20 in this condition. Maybe in the mid-high teens online but factor in shipping. Any ideas as to why this one got so much?

Obverse is not too shabby but because of the reverse I wouldn't pay more than $15 for it .  |

Looks like a decent coin but not at $100+!

Bubba Sully's a great dealer, I don't know why it sold for so much obviously the buyer sees something I don't. But his photos are accurate, his coins are a fair deal most of the time, I'm outbid as often as I win coins from him. He used to have a shop up the road from me, still does the local show circuit. GreasyFingers - His store is called Bubba Sully's Pocket Change, so ya never know At Heritage seems recent prices PGCS MS66 around $200+ and I don't think it's going to make a MS66 but I don't grade or look at many coins post 1933. When one factors in the grading fees, it's not a really profitable deal for the gamble IMO. However it is a nice collectible example, and better looking than most I've handled over the decades.

Beats me what happened. Just a couple of days ago an NGC ms 65 sold for $50.00. I would have bailed out on this one about $86.99 earlier.  |

He may have been hoping for a 66, way to many hits on the obv.  |

Hits on both the obv. and more so on the reverse...if they wanted a 66 they ain't gonna get it.

It's a good looking coin.
After a soak in acetone it might go as an NGC MS-65+ PL.

I once asked a buyer why they paid a couple hundred for a common insulator on ebay. They said money was no object to them and that their hobby was the excitement in bidding on ebay. It happens. I would think there is also not always a numismatic reason for auctioned coins.  Edited by Earle42

Earle42 you may be correct, I find they never bid on my auctions though. Very disappointing.  I need more crazy bidders to max out my coin sales that I'm doing to fund some family medical bills (again).  "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!
