Here are a of better pictures of the DDO 1964-D

JPM , good point. But within the group it pretty much screams, don’t grade coins by a tpg unless they are $300. As you said, let others pay the exorbitant fees.

so with so many people losing money on those exhorbitant fees, wouldn’t you think the amount of grading would somewhat diminish? NOT! But there are always plenty of slabs to buy. Few get the bargains that you get though!

Sandon I have not yet determined which variety it is and only comments from the seller only state accented hair so I tend to believe it’s not since the tpg did not identify it as such. Since I paid just $28 for it I think I did just fine.

A 1964 D graded Double Die Obverse Accented hair Kennedy half MS62

An 1854 Seated Liberty Half (P) (with arrows) and an 1856 SLH (O)with no arrows. Both have no motto. Don’t beat me up to bad folks. These are just for my collection of halves and not for grading.

I agree, perhaps the op has too much time on his hands😆

all kidding aside I saw Jesus on my toast today 

I don’t believe this coin was struck through. On the contrary I think it was monkeyed with. Notice the ring around the circumference, the obvious damage to the “IN GOD”, and a possible dimple very near what the dead center would be. Therefore I think this coin was tooled somehow and therefore PMD post mint damage.

Very nice. It may have come from a proof set. It’s awfully crisp and clear not to mention beautiful red color.

Don’t I know what you mean! These cheating outlaws are becoming so prevalent. I am continually annoyed by the counterfeit coins people are suckered into buying. Three examples attached. Yea, right a CC Morgan for $19.98

Hello and welcome to the forum.

you have a badly damaged coin somehow mutilated after it left the US Mint.

still worth 25 cents though!

As Sandon stated, some older proof sets do command a higher price. 2010, 2012, and 2021 to name a few. The 1954 set cost me $60.

John welcome to the forum. Your question is one that is often asked. Proof coins are all as perfect as can be in a production environment. However, it has been said that 80% of proof coins do not qualify as MS70. The cost to grade each coin will not yield a profit and can be up to $30-40 a coin. I collect proof sets and have managed to have a set from 1954-2023. It is important to note, US mint proof lenses are not sealed, and they will allow contaminates in the air to degrade or tone coins. That is why it is imperative to store proof sets correctly in specific boxes designed to counteract contaminates. The lenses should be considered dust and fingerprint protectors. There a a lot of collectors breaking apart proof sets and selling the proof coins individually, which if your end result is to profit from your proof sets, it may be the best way to go. I will buy these individual proof coins to complete an album from time to time. The other drawback is you cannot list ungraded proof sets in the registry. I know the TPGs used to grade entire sets, but I am unsure if they still do it.

How are you shooting them? With an iPhone? If so, you can EDIT the photo, then select CROP then at the top left ROTATE

I have an antique dealer near me with about ten brown box Ike’s 

I’m NOT a fan of Ike! The coin, that is.

I have a number of them but finding one that hasn’t been abused is another thing. The best one I have is a gem proof bicentennial Ike.

Eagle, isn’t that a Proof DCAM? It would grade as a proof coin wouldn’t it?

Ooh someone is upset 😠! I hope you weren’t referring to my 2023 proof Morgan. I didn’t think it was bad at all.

I’ll stick to what’s real Thank You!

nothin but the real thing baby 🎶 

What I was saying , it’s difficult to find a decent 1921 D Morgan 

Gov Mint is stating that these are being restocked based on demand. 

I do not like it and whatever intelligence they think is used here is wasted.
 

That’s a beauty Coby! Nice find!
