1969 d Kennedy half dollar should I get graded 1 1

No sir. But let’s make this beneficial to learning. 
 

1. What makes you think it might be worth grading?

2. Are you aware of costs of grading? If not you are looking at a membership fee, then roughly $40-$50 in fees and shipping 

3. Have you looked to see what fair market value is for this coin?

4. Have you started reading and learning the basics of coin grading? Hint this coin is not in great shape from a grade standpoint 

 

Please don’t take this as me being a Jack @$$. It’s easy for us just to tell you no but if you want to learn it’s better for us to help you answer the right questions.

Absolutely not! It is worth silver melt value - nothing more. Spending $35+ with not increase its value by one cent.

Now if someone could pound this into that bodoh (i-d-i-o-t in what I theorize is his native tongue) Researchcoins' head about his 1967 half dollar, we'd be getting somewhere.

OP, please pay real close attention to this. These are the pertinent questions, and if you think them through, this is ten times more helpful than the simple "nope" I'd have supplied. This will teach you to answer the question for yourself from a point of knowledge.

1) ALL 1969 halves are mint marked.

2) I’d bet anything most of your “mint errors” are not. This is THE main misinformation that exists in this hobby.

3) In order for ANY 1969-D half to be worth grading, it would have to look like it was minted TODAY. Trust me on this, please.

Maybe one in the same? I’m new here but as an apprentice I do recognize similarities in the accent of literary content.

Nah....I think Wayne's just new.  Researchcoins is completely incoherent.  Wayne is coherent.  Researchcoins seems to be a native Malaysian speaker based on one of his thread titles, so his poor English skills would be highly forgivable if he weren't a total bodoh who tries to sell $3.34 coins for $300 and .25 coins for $9,000,000.  That is completely unforgivable.  It's predatory, extortionist, scumbag conmen like Researchcoins which ruin the hobby for many newbies.

FAIR WARNING!  

🐓:  Wanna give this a shot, boss?

Q.A.:  Wayne, Wayne, Wayne... Punctuation is against your religion: I get it.  In that regard, I unreservedly recommend the book, Eats, Shoots & Leaves by Lynn Truss (subtitled: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation) 😉 Dedicated: To the memory of the striking Bolshevik printers of St. Petersburg who, in 1905, demanded to be paid the same rate for punctuation marks as for letters, and thereby directly precipitated the first Russian Revolution.

My take on the OP's position is as follows: in fairly Biblical fashion he is hungry and wants to eat fish.  The forces arrayed against him, insist he learn how to fish on his own to satisfy his hunger today and for the days to come, to time indefinite.  Right now, he's considering his options. I, myself, have no opinion on this matter one way or the other.

🐓 :  Thank you.  You've been very helpful. 🤔
