[QUOTE="stldanceartist, post: 3370850, member: 13307"]You asked if any of us had seen this before, and I am saying that I've seen a few coins that looked exactly like this, and I was also curious - until I figured out it was just glue. Same exact bubbling pattern. I'm not seeing any cuds, neither am I seeing cuds with stars stamped into them. It would make sense, however, to have the impression of a star in the glue (if this coin were glued to another Kennedy Half Dollar.) Also looks like there may be scratches on the coin (maybe from someone trying to remove the glue or remove the coin from whatever it was glued to?) (FWIW, 100% acetone won't harm a 1971 Kennedy Half dollar (only coin I've ever seen acetone hurt was a steel cent), but it will remove that glue for you no problem.) Just because a coin looks weird doesn't automatically mean it's a super rare and valuable piece. But if you want more detailed help, maybe post some in-focus pictures of the coin straight on, and then it will be easier to tell.[/QUOTE]
