gsp193 Pillar of the Community United States 975 Posts	Posted 09/23/2023 11:09 pm I don't think this is an accented hair Kennedy. What say you all? To me the obverse is wrong as well as it has an RDV-002 reverse. The NGC coin lookup shows this coin under that number. Did NGC get it wrong? Heres the link to it. https://www.ebay.com/itm/394595328486 Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73798 Posts	Posted 09/23/2023 11:18 pm Something's not adding up here. I looked up that variety and the reverse is supposed to have broken rays and stuff. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
gsp193 Pillar of the Community United States 975 Posts	Posted 09/23/2023 11:22 pm @Errers and Varietys, I think they got it wrong on this one. Nice Kennedy but it's not an accented hair. Report this Post to the Staff

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10034 Posts	Posted 09/24/2023 1:49 pm The essay in my signature shows at least a 30% error by PCGS assigning the No FG Kennedy half. In my experience I have found it easy to find ANACS and NGC slabs also wrongly attributed. Read it for a real eye opener on the lack of ability/trustworthiness they have in this area. Therefore it is never surprising to me when I see a wrongly attributed slab such as this. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

Dearborn Moderator United States 95018 Posts	Posted 09/24/2023 2:06 pm Time for more research on this subject - never heard about the 'broken rays' being attributed to AH halves.

gsp193 Pillar of the Community United States 975 Posts	Posted 09/24/2023 6:48 pm @Dearborn all the Accented Hair Kennedies have the RDV-001 reverse which is the type one or earliest reverse, which has the straight G and broken rays and lathe lines. (Coop taught me about the lathe lines) I believe the SMS Kennedies and some of the non-accented hair "Transitional" Kennedies had the RDV-001 reverse as well but in fewer numbers. I don't think an ODV-001 accented hair obverse has ever been found to be paired with the RDV-002 reverse. That would be an awesome find!

Dearborn Moderator United States 95018 Posts	Posted 09/24/2023 7:42 pm I will go have a look and my AH Half to see for myself (never really took that hard look at the other die markers) Collecting since 1972.

I've found 3 of them. Kind of strange when I found the first one, thought I had discovered something. Ya the other way would be a discovery. Report this Post to the Staff
Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5238 Posts	Posted 09/26/2023 4:19 pm ODV-002, RDV002. Yep, they got it dead wrong. @Cujohn, I have three Philly versions with the RDV-001 business strike and 22 Denver versions with the RDV-001. If the mint ever discloses they made the mistake of sending the Proof reverses to Denver I will be sitting pretty. Edited by Jim0815 09/26/2023 4:22 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 09/26/2023 4:28 pm I didn't realize it was on the Business strikes. Just what I need, another one to look for. Report this Post to the Staff
