Ray's good Kennedys 的钱币相册
Beautiful toning on the obverse and perfectly bright white revere. VERY minimally marks on either side. VERY worthy of the MS 67+ grade!!!
SECURE PLUS. From Richard Green. Lucky for me Richard really liked the bright silvery coins. He sold me this "spare" coin because his main coin was the sole MS 68 as featured in the Coin Facts area of the PCGS website. He also sold me his varieties because he didn't collect those, as well as his other "spare" toned coins. He would only use those if he couldn't find a nice bright white coin that was a strong graded coin for the grade. We had hundreds of conversations in those very short years that I got to know him. Featured in Rick Thomaska's book on Franklin and Kennedy half dollars book. PQ coin!!! Stated as an MS 67, now it's an MS 67+ coin, WELL deserved of this status!

SECURE PLUS. This coin is actually the rarer DDR 801. Pop is listed as only 1, but this is the 2nd known, but not listed DDR coin. I purchased this from a coin dealer in Salem, MA back in 2001 for $3. The coin was a free submission because PCGS was just starting the Secure Plus option and for that quarter it was the free quarterly submission. Self made, thanks for free submission. Pop Top 40/4. PCGS has made a mistake on this date. Some of these are actually SMS coins. Last sale was in Jan 06 at $2760, lot # 26411. Heritage also lists an SMS coin, 2004 Bullet Dallas Sale #278, lot # 1431. Heritage actually states it has a cameo reverse, but, PCGS hasn't acknowledged it as such, nor has PCGS removed it from the Pops. Several have been broken out and only made MS 66. Actually, the TRUE population was 6, NOT 11 back in 2003 I believe, when I researched this with Richard. Thanks again Richard. AHHH, the good old memories we shared. Should be in an MS 67+ holder, maybe next resubmission... The line under the W in we is an area that was struck through a piece of metal. The "marks" on the base of the face/neck aren't scuffs, scratches, etc. Instead, they are only breaks in the luster. The same goes for the reverse, there's a break in luster appearing as a line at the top of the eagle's shield.

Very nice coin, very limited in coming up for sale anywhere at all. Bright white coin, with some light toning, many die polish marks all over the coin. Not the lowest population, but VERY hard to locate at this high grade!
Very nice coin, rivals some of the 67's and better than most other 66's, Deserves another re-submission for another opinion, at least in my opinion!
VERY PQ coin, nearly mark free obverse, mark free reverse. It's been a VERY long time since one of these coins was offered for sale in this high grade. Pretty pastel toning on both sides makes this coin even more desirable whether the collector likes bright white coins or toned coins. I have researched all of the present and retired Kennedy sets and I only found a single set that had this coin in the MS 67 grade. Is it that rare, or have people resubmitted the other MS 67 coins in hopes that they could get an upgrade? Or, did they break them out of the holder and resubmit them raw in hopes of an upgrade? Only PCGS may know? I for one DO have the real deal, a TRUE MS 67 1971-P Kennedy half dollar! This coin is the plate coin for the 1971-P Kennedy in Coinfacts!
Nicely toned on obverse and reverse, over the years many coins have been graded as MS 67 and some as MS 67+. But as of today, there are only 10 graded as MS 68. VERY few marks, deeply struck and pretty toning made this a worthy coin to purchase, not only as a slot filler, but as a slot for any high grade Kennedy set.
Beautiful iridescent toning 100% of the coin. This is the 1972 PCGS ms 67 Kennedy in Coinfacts as the sole 1972 in ms-67!

SECURE PLUS. Thanks for the free submission, POP 1. Yet ANOTHER coin from the Salem coin dealer for about $3!!! Richard told me he thought it would grade MS 68 one day, just have faith! Since I only paid $3 for it plus 1 round of grading fees I thought it did well. Broke the bank when PCGS gave away 4 free submissions, out it went. They didn't have the plus grades back then, but I know Richard would still be proud as a POP 1 MS 67+ even though it didn't make the MS 68 he thought it deserved! Too bad Richard couldn’t see it now. RIP.

This coin is the scarcer no "FG" variety. It has taken me MANY years to obtain this example. I have actually "made" the discovery no "FG" coin, but PCGS doesn't recognize that fact. It's featured in Rick Thomaska's book on Franklin and Kennedy Half dollars. I got this coin for $3 from a coin dealer in 2001. I submitted it to the renowned error/variety expert Fred Weinberg who verified it was indeed a new discovery and notified PCGS. When Fred submitted the coin to PCGS, they labeled it as a mint error. I have since submitted more of these coins as well as other individuals and PCGS changed the label as a variety. The original coin still resides in the MS 65 mint error holder. They never issued government mint sets for 1982 and 1983 so finding true gem coins for these years are really tough to find. In researching this coin on the PCGS coinfacts website, I made a couple interesting discoveries. In the regular coin listings, there are coins listed under the regular coins but are really the no "FG" coins. These are the numbers I have found: in the MS 67+ list, there is a sole coin listed as an MS 67+ that's really a no "FG" coin. In the MS 67 list there are 2 coins listed as regular coins but are the no "FG" variety, in the MS 66 list there are 12 coins that are actually no "FG" coins, there are 4 coins in the MS 65 listing. Many of the coins will stay in the "regular" side of the of the listings even though they are the "scarcer" no "FG" issues because of the few variety collectors, price difference and unknown true number of the regular issue and the no "FG" varieties. Because of the unknown true number of coins both as regular issues and the no "FG" variety will always be unknown. And this will result in discrepancy between both the prices for the regular and the no "FG" coins because there so few variety collectors and the unknown number of both varieties of the coin. Of course, this is just my fifty cents, and doesn't reflect PCGS's opinion.

First 03-D MS 68 graded! Sorry Richard, I’m keeping this one. This is how I met Richard Green. When he found out that I had made this coin he tried to buy it because it was a pop 1 coin. When I didn’t sell it to him, he bought two PCGS graded 2003-D Kennedy’s in both ms 68 and ms 67. When he got them he thought the ms 67 coin was just as good as the ms 68 coin, he resubmitted it to PCGS. He was rewarded with his second ms 68 coin. He sold this spare coin and that was the last of the 2003 D Kennedy’s that was graded as ms 68. Since then he and I bought/sold/traded about 100 Kennedy half dollars. Richard was not a fan of toned Kennedy’s and this is why he sold me his “ spare “ 1964-D Kennedy in ms 67 along with a few other toned Kennedys. Plus he didn't want the varieties, so he basically GAVE me all the varieties he had, some graded and some raw! He gifted me the toned 1988 D in PCGS ms 67 that’s in my current set. One of these days I hope to develop the skills/knowledge to take a photo of each coin that actually captures the true colors and appearance of the coin.

Beautiful bright white coin. Even though the more modern Kennedy are being minted in huge numbers, to find one in a high grade is extremely difficult and expensive.

Purchase1ad this and 6 other PR 69 DCAM coins as a single lot. I didn't see this until about half an hour before the end of the auction ended! Got lucky for sure! The photo makes it look like there's a haziness on the bottom of the photo, but, this is a faulty photo. There is absolutely NO haze anywhere on the coin at all! Beautiful black and white coin. I've been looking for one for a long time. I have now got 4 in 68 DCAM, but this coin has ended my search!
