Big Green Label Haul!

Over the weekend I picked up a lot of 29 Kennedy halves from the Old World Coin Shop in McHenry, Illinois. All were in PCGS slabs, and 27 of the 29 were green labels. The only two blue labels were top pops: a 1968S PR69DCAM and a 1970S PF69DCAM. Highlights among the green labels were a 1966 SMS MS68 and a 1969S PR69DCAM (another top pop). The rest were a mix of earlier MS65 and MS66, many of which I have never seen come up for auction on eBay. All but 5 of the halves were new slot fillers or upgrades to my graded collection. Several have definite upgrade potential if resubmitted.

The halves were part of a large collection of PCGS Kennedy and Ike slabs (mostly green labels) that the coin shop bought last winter. I picked up a smaller group earlier this year that included 1973S MS68, 1974S MS68, & 1976 Type 1 MS65 Ike dollars and 9 Kennedy halves (1964 MS66, 1964D MS65, 1968D MS66, 1971D MS67, 1972D MS67, 1980P MS67, 1992P MS67, 1993D MS67, & 1995 MS67).

My sets are still a long way from the top but I feel like these additions sure add some respectability to them.

There are still several left from the original collection that I didn't get (yet) including some tough early MS67's if any of you guys are interested. Ask for Gary. If they're still around much longer, I may not be able to help myself.
