GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 08/30/2011 5:40 pm I check with my local dealer, he told me NGC had posted the grades for some coins I sent in. They have been there since early June. The one I am most excited about is the 1998 S (silver) matte proof Kennedy half dollar. They posted a grade of SP-70, I hope there is no mistake because I did not expect that grade. NGC and numismedia price guides value this coin in SP-70 at $600. The cool part is I purchased the coin from a CCF member. Is was with the RFK commemorative dollar two coin set. My dealer thinks the coins were shipped last Friday, so I hope my coins will be here any day. Edit - I forgot to say one of the other three coins I sent in was the 1997 matte proof Jefferson nickel, it has a posted grade of SP-69 ......

One thing I always try to remember, someone may have placed an attractive value to a certain coin, that sounds really good, but you'd still have to find a buyer that would be willing to pay the price, to actually realize that value.

GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 08/30/2011 6:03 pm Not that I plan on selling it, and if I did I do not think I could get full value for it. I am just excited to get such a high grade. To me this is the key to the Kennedy half dollar series. It has the lowest mintage, was only sold in the 1998 Commemorative set, I think the mintage is 66,000 but will have to check Edited by GR58 08/30/2011 6:05 pm Report this Post to the Staff
