Hi All-. I am new to coin collecting. This coin is from 1997. A kennedy half dollar so not a lot of value. From what i read sometjmes x's were put on the backs of coins to prevent future collection or to indicate forgery. But with such a low demand coin i did not think that made sense. I also could find no pictures of the Xs on other coinage. Is it possibly a minting error?
It looks like intentional damage. Someone scratched the rev. of the coin. You would be surprised of the intentional damage you find on coins.
Thanks alll! Maybe someone was trying to make a *Two-face" coin or something. Lol. Oh well. I will keep it for the novelty it's my first intentionally damaged coin i found.
