Is it an error to have no mint mark on a Kennedy 1776-1976 200 year freedom half dollar?

Thank you for all your help! I will if I ever get an opportunity.

Take a look at the 1999 possible double ear here that I posted earlier. See if you can tell.

 

No, it's 40%. It could look like that, but it could look like a standard 40%er.

 

BTW, that's called a Bicentennial Half.

 

Not aware of the 1999 double ear, just the 1984. Looks like there might be something there but maybe a penny expert here can help you out.

 

Love the penny and cent collector quote! Lol! I was calling them pennies for a long time!

 

Me neither. That is why I find it odd.

 

Pennies are British/English, Cents are American. I collect both, hence, penny and cent collector.

 

That's cool. I just like it because I had to be corrected for calling the cent a penny. Lol. Now I know the difference!

 

If only my in-laws would know the difference, despite me trying to teach them.

 

LOL. That's hysterical!

 

That's my reality. There have been debates on Facebook.

 

Aside from war nickels, the year when the P started appearing is 1980 (1979 on SBA dollars). It does not appear on cents.

 

Interesting!

 

All of this knowledge is in the red book. Read it.

 

I have not looked at all the different types of coins yet in there. I have the 2016 guide.

 

It would be unwise to search "just for silver" as there are many valuable CnClad coins in the Kennedy Series.

 

Only if you're interested in varieties. I personally have little interest and looking at every coin for a No FG or DDO makes it excruciating for me, whereas looking for silver is fun.
With that said, I do save clad 1987s and proofs. And unc hole fillers but I only have two BU clad holes left.

 

The only non-silvers I keep or look for are the S mint marks. I may someday want to make a Kennedy set and those seem to be the most difficult to get. Lon didn't you get a newer silver S mint once?
