    Ok, what is unusual about this Kennedy Half Dollar? Images are tilted for a reason to get maximum natural exposure, and to show detail. Please feel free to discuss any aspects of this coin that you see. Also, grade it, if you please.

    The designer's initials (FG) look a bit funky.

    I found the teacup, cane, funnel, apple, heart, carrot, muffin, belt, crescent moon, and party hat.

    Can't find the '64 Half tho...

    "Highlights" was the highlight of the day when going to the pediatrician as a kid.

    It has a doubled die obverse, a doubled die reverse ( the large dots on the rays above EPU) and a strike through from the ear to the base of the bust. Hits from a reeded edge three times on the obverse, and the surfaces look muted, dull. But that could be the photo.
    As always, OIMO

    It is one of the doubled dies, Photos aren't clear enough to tell which one. MS63

    The coin grades MS. You are on the right track about other things.

    I can't be sure, but is it clashed between chin and neck?

    '64-'70 silvers are thin like that if that's what you're referring to.
    "I" in "LIBERTY" is wrong for that.
