Grades are back on the Silver Kennedy's

I had three sets to work from and really spent a long time trying to pick out the best. I'm not at all upset by the Reverse Proof - I think those are really ugly things anyway.

I was happy the Enhanced Unc. made Prooflike (PL).




I had TrueView on one (the 2014-S) but was surprised to see that the rest of the coins had photos too - not TrueView, but nice photos.  According to http://forums.collectors.com/messageview.cfm?catid=26&threadid=933965  that happens sometimes.





I could have requested and paid for First Strike labels on all of these, but did not.  The interesting thing about that is that these obviously were produced before the cut-off date, so if that designation actually meant anything rather than being made up nonsense, these should command a premium. But they will not, because that labeling is artificial.

The PCGS numbers get VERY confusing on this.

534990 2014-S 50th Anniversary Set, Silver, Enhanced Mint State Prooflike according to Coinfacts
534998  2014-S 50th Anniversary Set, Silver, Enhanced Mint State Prooflike according to my certification
530177 2014-S 50th Anniversary Set, Silver, Enhanced Mint State NOT Prooflike
535117 2014-S 50th Anniversary Set, Silver, Enhanced Mint State DM (Deep Mirror)

Then there's a whole other set of numbers for these as First Strike!



Note: All my coins are in a safe deposit box. I keep nothing in my home.
