    Hi all -.
    I have two coins that i think are kind of neat.
    One i am calling the "Got Your Nose" Coin its from 1972. Not sure the cause but Kennedy's nose is floating in front of his face.

    The other from 1979 has a weird perfectly circular gauge the head of the coin.

    Wondered if either were mint errors and if they had value.

    Welcome to the neighborhood @RICHARD L LIGHT !

    The '72 is the result of an over-polished die, and the '79 is just post-mint damage (PMD).

    Welcome to CT. The one is damage the others over polished and that means they're both worth $.50 total.

    It looks like you may have a clash above the nose on the 72D.
    There may be a clash through HALF DOLLAR on the reverse also, need to see a much better photo, note the F and DO area of HALF DOLLAR.
