I didn't look at the necklace that closely, sorry.  I may go again, and if I do, I'll check on that and any other questions people might have.

I went back to the World's Fair of Money to look at the forthcoming Silver Kennedy Set.
A few more pictures that some, particularly Interest, may find of interest:

What a wonderful set of photos, I could see myself spending many hours at a fair like this, whilst Mrs. Robster stood in line at the U.S. Mint stand.!! :dodgy::blackeye:

In theory you should be able to view the pictures without having a Facebook account; however I also put the albums on Google+ for those who don't use or want to use Facebook.

Since the sale of the gold Kennedys, and in fact any Kennedy coins, has been suspended due to security concerns about crowd control, there is very little wait at the US Mint stand now.
Thank you and Interest for your comments.
