Type: Lincoln Cent (Modern), Type 3, Memorial Reverse (Copper) (1959-1982) Designer: Victor David Brenner/Frank Gasparro Content: 95% Copper, 5% Zinc Weight: 3.11 grams Diameter: 19.00 millimeters Edge: Plain Mint: Denver Production Strikes: 3,799,071,500 (1,933,908,100 of these were struck in 1965) General Type Description: 1959 was the 50th anniversary of the Lincoln Cent, high time to make a design change. The front of the coin was left alone, but the reverse was changed from the old "Wheat Ears" design to a frontal view of the Lincoln Memorial. As a result, Lincoln appears twice on the new Cent: once on the obverse and second time as a tiny figure seated in the center of his Memorial. (Source: Guth, Ron. PCGS CoinFacts) Specific Issue Description: The 1964-D is common in circulated grades up to MS64. In MS65 they are a little harder to find but probably many still in original and even opened rolls. In MS66 condition they become scarce with possibly under 1,000 available combined between raw and certified examples. There are probably more in original rolls but getting harder to find. There are probably very few if any at all in opened rolls as these are usually pulled out and sold as singles or are sent in to be graded. In MS67 it is one of the tougher dates from the 1960's especially from the Denver Mint. Less than two dozen are known in MS67 condition with none being graded higher. (Source: Hernandez, Jaime.

Type: Jefferson Nickel, Type 1, Original Design Vintage (1938-1964) Designer: Felix Schlag Content: 75% Copper, 25% Nickel Weight: 5.00 grams Diameter: 21.20 millimeters Edge: Plain Mint: Philadelphia Production Strikes: 1,024,672,000 General Type Description: In 1938 the nickel was redesigned. Entering a competition with 390 artists, Felix Schlag captured an award of $1,000 for his motif picturing Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and a corner view of Jefferson’s home, Monticello, on the reverse. In the final production design, the profile of Monticello was changed to a front view. The finished product depicted a head and shoulders portrait of Jefferson facing left, with IN GOD WE TRUST to the left and LIBERTY and the date to the right. The reverse depicted Monticello at the center, E PLURIBUS UNUM above and the inscriptions of MONTICELLO, FIVE CENTS and UNITED STATES OF AMERICA below. Jefferson nickels are readily available in all grades. However business strikes which display a full set of steps on Monticello are elusive for certain issues, and command significant premiums.

Edited and updated by Mike Sherman, PCGS CoinFacts) Specific Issue Description: The 1964 Jefferson Nickel is very common since the Mint produced over a billion of them. However, quality is an issue with this date as most coins were struck in MS64 condition or lower. In MS65 they are scarce but still easy to locate with minimal effort. In MS66 they are scarce with probably less than a thousand in this condition or higher. In MS67 it is really scarce with less than a handful known. Exemplar Notes: Light, even, champagne-gold iridescence adorns both sides of this satiny, sharply impressed top-of-the-pop gem—one of only six “full steps” coins in MS66 grade with none numerically higher (one at MS66+ FS). Ex-Compradore Collection pedigree. Acquired 6/2012 via Bowers and Merena.
Type: Kennedy Half Dollar, Type 1, Silver (1964) Designer: Gilroy Roberts/Frank Gasparro Content: 90% silver 10% copper Weight: 12.50 grams Diameter: 31.00 millimeters Edge: Reeded Mint: Philadelphia Production Strikes: 273,304,004 General Type Description: The assassination of former President John F. Kennedy took place on November 22, 1963 and many grieving people wanted to do something special in memory of the late President. Shortly thereafter, it was decided that Kennedy's portrait would be place on a U.S. coin. Initially Kennedy's portrait was going to be placed on a U.S. quarter. However, Mrs. Kennedy requested for George Washington's portrait to remain on the quarter instead of her late husbands. The second best choice was the Half Dollar coin. At the time, the Franklin Half Dollar coins were still being issued and the current law required that a coins design should remain on a circulating coin for at least 25 years before it can be changed. Consequently, Congress has to act quickly and change the law for the Half Dollar coins. In the end the Kennedy Half Dollar was approved, therefore, ending the Franklin Half Dollar series at least four years earlier than expected. By February 1964, the Philadelphia Mint struck its first Kennedy Half Dollars for circulation while the Denver Mint had already struck them just a week earlier.(Source: Hernandez, Jaime. PCGS CoinFacts) Specific Issue Description: The 1964 Kennedy Half Dollars were composed of 90% silver, therefore making them a single-year type. The following years, or from 1965 to 1970, circulation strike Kennedy Half Dollars were struck in 40% silver. Exemplar Description: This gem is well-struck with rainbow-toning near the rims on both the obverse and, to a lesser extent, the reverse. One of less that four dozen graded as MS67 with none graded numerically finer; two in MS67+. This coin is encapsulated in an old green holder (OGH) and was acquired via Teletrade, 8/2009.

The 1964-D tends to be better struck than the 1964-P as there is at least one known example grading up to MS68 condition for the 1964-D. (Source: Hernandez, Jaime.

One of less than four dozen graded as MS67 with only one graded higher (as of 5/2016), this was acquired 7/2010 via Teletrade. Photography/Imaging c/o Ben Karr
