1964 Kennedy half dollar. Help with marks. What are they?

I read that its rolled dough ...

Have you sent the coin in for certification yet?

The TPG might just forward it to Fred Weinberg for his input and inspection to get a real high end, knowledgeable experts input.

And besides, I am on this forum to find the other folks who have this same exact coin, with the same exact raised marks. I have found two already. One who found hers along with many other coveted coins, under the floor boards of a house she bought from a banker. I am trying to get us all to send them in at the same time so as to spark interest and unfold a great american verified coin worth thousands! One of the greatest in fact. Not to find out if the marks are cuts or not! - Edited - .

 

I was hoping to get the other two folks that have this coin, and really was hoping to find more so as to get them all sent at the same time. I guess I dont know how to go about it, to uncover what i feel strongly is not a mutilated coin, but rather, a coin made from a cancelled or damaged die. So if we all send them together, it may spark an investigation into the mint that made them?

 

Plus I have heard enough of Fred Weenburgs opinion already...

 

I remember that avatar ... Showing your face on the hatchet. Can't remember your previous name @paddyman98 can i think

 

You're right.. I'm so envious that YOU have it!

Send it to have it attributed and then come back to us to gloat in your knowledge. NGC or PCGS are great coin attributors! Can't wait to see the results.

You don't have to agree with anyone's opinion but it's not right to bash anyone.

 

I think I know who you mean but I believe this to be some other person. He just needs guidance and the will to be guided

 

I agree with this being caused by some type of knife. This will leave a raised ridge on one or both sides of the cut. The metal must go somewhere so it goes up and forms the ridges.
Circulation will round and flatten these ridges to almost hide the cuts. We have all seen this many times on the coin forums over the years. Just another damaged coin.

 

I've seen this before, put it under a mole trap.

 

Thank you to the mods for cleaning things up.

 

upon thinking of how this could be an "error" during the minting process .. 'ya know what I just realized. Some of the pics show triangular marks, which are 100% reminiscent of the tests & threads we had to show what a can opener does post #8 and #10 ==> https://www.cointalk.com/threads/wh...h-strange-circle-of-mark.337390/#post-3473602
.. making those triangular marks if you position the catcher blade correctly. Of course, on the opposite side of the triangular catcher roller thing is the much more pointed, knife like catching roller which can easily be made to cut at an extreme angle thus raising up the metal ... which oddly can also make cutting marks very similar to what is shown.

oh sorry, I think I opened a can of worms.

 

Again, not on here for opinions from a bunch of nobodys who make them based off of my crappy photos. I am not looking for you chumps. You guys think you know it all I'll bet. So hows that working for you? Being so clever and all. Please dont waste your time or mine here on this thread anymore. Old timers.

 

Send it to have it attributed. Simple.

 

Love it. He gets an answer from the preeminent expert on numismatic errors and then calls him names. @BobDemon do you realize that he just saved you $60+ by giving you an evaluation? TPGs use Fred as a consultant when they need an expert opinion on error coins. Think about it, the experts at the TPGs use him as their error expert, and you just told him not to bother you. I guess that’s all that needs to be said.




Another one for the ignore button

 

Wow, I can't believe you went there.

Anyway, why should we believe you unless you send it in to a TPG? And even if you do, chances are nil that you will post a picture of it in a slab.

 

Appears to be silver solder beads to me.

 

I’ve put him on ignore. Not the type of crap I even want to waste 10 seconds reading.

That was my thought as a possibility.

 

@Bob Demon ! You owe this very knowledgeable man an apology for your name calling. Why do you have to resort to this childish behavior when people with far for experience then you , give you an honest opinion . Just because he disagreed with your take on the coin does not mean he is wrong. Frank Weinberg has forgot more then you know and will ever know.

 

This post has been my morning entertainment for sure. Thanks.
