who would dip a kennedy half? It looks electroplated, BTW.

 

I remember someone in the roll searchers thread saying something about a chrome plated war nickel. Its definitely possible someone would do the same to a half dollar.

 

for sure...I got one for my kid once.

 

Flip it over. You'll probably see an "S" Mint Mark indicating that its a proof coin. Copper Nickel Clad Proof Kennedy's can be found quite often in bank rolls.

 

No mint mark. Click on the second link and change the shine1.jpg to shine2.jpg.

no mint mark.

 

Yeah, doesn't look like a proof.
It's just a plated half. I've found a lot of those. It's damage, as far as many are concerned, and worth face.
