1964 Kennedy Proofs
Posted: Fri Jun 14, 2013 5:14 pmyou know what you gotta love 'em?
here you got this game changing tragedy.....the nation was changed, so they make a half dollar coin with JFK on it...only one year in 90% silver, BUT they mint an incredible number, almost 430 million of them....so you would think there's NO "numi-pop" to the coin, right?
but WITHIN the whole rubric, they bury a rarity...the Proof Strike....ONLY 4 million minted, and THEN within THAT rarity, they bury ANOTHER little rarity, the "Accented Hair", I forget how many there are....but its a trip, coz Jackie was such a perfectionist ....she's a grieving widow, BUT she micro-manages so intense, she gets up in the mints grill, and calls them on the carpet coz she thought the hair on the coin was too much....they pull the dies, reconfigure, and there ya are.......
now I got $40 face of these bad boys, all MS67 plus....and here's maybe the last roll, this seller, who I got mine from....and its trading at $295 right now, which is where I got them when silver was trading at $34...so go figure that one out, huh?
there's 2 hours and 40 minutes left...anyone want to play?....dueling dollars? dueling ego's, ramp it up to $405? lol...the TOP coin IS exactly THAT PERFECT....whoever had these , curated them perfectly....not a frigging scratch.
here it is....
