Some people did not like Kennedy. So they burned his likeness... in this case, the Half Dollar. It was a pretty big occurrence in the South especially, as I hear stories from my grandmother of her father burning them as soon as he got a hold of one.
A Yankee South and Kennedy 2246 I lived in the south since 1975. I never hear anyone say anything bad about JFK but Teddy yes they hate! Now back to the coin look like its been stained or heated to me
Thanks everyone for input actually found coin in bank roll of halves about 2 months ago... it must of had an interesting life so far.. the goose
detail??? One more time on thids coin ....any chance this was a bad planchett the detail in the copper section is as good as in the nickel areas. Sorry to keep pestering but what do you guys think...maybe it is heat related or if cleaned wouldnt the detail disapper with the shinny metal.??? Thanks In Advance
Hi, There is no chance that this coin is an error of any kind. It would be a waste of hard earned money to have it sent anywhere to be looked at. It is what we lovingly call "environmental damage". The metal detecting scenario is very plausible. So is spilling cola on it and having it sit for a long time. Anything corrosive can cause a clad coin to look that way. As suggested above, I have found many copper-nickel clad coins with a metal detector as well. I roll them up and cash them in and they look very much like this half. Thanks, Bill
