Paul, as always, absolutely beautiful coin!

Additionally, excellent video. Note that he points out a coin in it's holder will typically change during the first 6-9 months if handled inappropriately prior to sending it in for grading. Those of you buying "freshly" slabbed coins should pay heed to this little tidbit. There are MANY dealers who send in lots of coins to be slabbed all at once and sell them as quickly as possible. They will have high ratings because the coin looked good the day it was bought.

We all get burned on this one. This is also why it is far better to see the coin in hand prior to purchase. That capability has pretty much gone away with the likes of eBay.

These two Kennedy Half's were bought the same day, from the same dealer and for all intents, looked the same. A couple years later... which one was sneezed upon? Okay, it may have been something else, but the "spots" were not there originally.
