creepy is right

 

Wow that is weird. It's like they drilled a hole in the coin and stuck the 3D part in there.

 

Someone with too much time on their hands.

 

Thats awesome.

 

Kind of like the old Liberty punch outs.

Must have been a very thick roll.

 

Looks like they just used a press with a bit that is milled to look like Kennedy's head.

 

Coin Steroids.

 

Twiggs,
Thanks for finding that. I just thought someone did it on their own, now I see it was specially released.
Kewl,

 

Thanks for finding that Twiggs. Just so happens I have one of those in the holder pictured in your link.

I have NO CLUE where it is but remember buying it at the local shop for a couple bucks. Figured I'd sell it on ebay and will if I ever find it!

 

I google 3-D kennedy

It sure is creepy though, isn't it?..lol

 

Technically, it's not worth 50¢ anymore as the mint considers it mutilated and only worth melt value.

 

gatzdon..it's not mutilated, it was struck that way. Check the link I posted above


I would love to get one of those

 

When you said "Here's a weird Kennedy !", I thought you meant Teddy.

 

"This genuine Kennedy half dollar struck by the US min was re-struck by the American Historic Society for form the remarkable 3-D image. "

From the looks of the pictures, I'm guessing it's no longer machine countable and as far as the mint is concerned, that makes it's mutilated. I'm not saying it's not worth more to a collector, I'm just saying that it no longer has that 50¢ value to fall back on.

 

I would say as a curiosity it is worth more than its original face value. People will find it interesting, thus some people will want to buy one.

 

Twiggs,

If I ever stumble upon mine I'll send it to you.

 

i am now going to have nightmares. it looks like a head that stretched out of a wall in a scary movie or something. just plain creepy
