Huge Kennedy Broadstrike on Type 1 Blank

This Kennedy half is almost the size of an Ike, and even more difficult to photograph. Has a proof-like appearance but no tumbling marks; definitely business strike. I tried a million positions, types of lighting, etc., but this is the best I can get it. I can't do it justice on either side. Oh, well, enjoy!

I like the reverse toning. That is an awesome error!

 

This is the only picture I can find on it -

 

Yeah. That's why I didn't use it. I can't believe he accepted my offer

 

Also, how do blanks sneak through without going through the upsetting mill? They are fed to it directly. Was it rolling on its edge through the upset mill to get to the next stage? I mean how else is it possible that it makes it to the die process?

 

Awesome error and worthy of Fred Weinberg's table.

 

That reverse is awesome, specially the "HALF DOLLAR." Where do you find these errors? eBay?

 

Neat!! Looks multi-struck as well.

 

cool looking!

 

I wanted to state the same. Probably Multi-Struck but PCGS didn't bother mentioning it

 

I learned it from you!

 

He took it off eBay and I made him a modest offer.
