************************************************************************************************

NGC SHOWS A TOTAL POPLUATION OF ROUGHLY 26,OOO 1966 SMS KENNEDY HALF DOLLARS CERTIFIED IN ALL GRADES ACROSS THE BOARD. OUT OF THAT NUMBER, NGC SHOWS A TOTAL POPULATION OF ABOUT 200 COINS GRADED AS ULTRA CAMEO, IN ALL GRADES COMBINED. THEREFORE THE KNOWN POPULATION OF 1966 ULTRA CAMEO HALF DOLLARS COMPRISE LESS THAN 1 % OF THE TOTAL CERTIFIED POPULATION. ANY 1966 SMS KENNEDY GRADED AS ULTRA CAMEO CAN BE CONSIDERED AS SPECIAL & SCARCE.
THE 1966 SMS KENNEDY HALF DOLLAR OFFERS A LOT FOR THE VARIETY COLLECTOR. THERE ARE NUMEROUS DOUBLE DIE VARIETIES AND ALSO THE POPULAR ' NO FG ' VARIETY.
THE ' NO FG ' VARIETY RESULTED FROM SOME OVER ZEALOUS DIE POLISHING OF A CERTAIN DIE OR DIES. THE POLISHING COMPLETELY ERASED THE DESIGNER'S INITIALS FROM THE REVERSE SIDE OF THIS VARIETY. THIS IS A POPULAR VARIETY AND COMMANDS A NICE PREMIUM. THERE SEEM TO BE ENOUGH OF THEM OUT THERE THAT A COLLECTOR CAN FIND ONE AT AUCTION WITHOUT TOO MUCH DIFFICULTY. THE SAME CANNOT BE SAID FOR A MUCH LATER VARIETY, THE 1970-D DPL ( DEEP MIRROR PROOF-LIKE ) COINS. THE DPL COINS ARE RARE ENOUGH ( total NGC population is currently 10 ) TO BE PRACTICALLY UN-OBTAINABLE.
