<p>[QUOTE=&quot;VolMach62, post: 4907803, member: 114758&quot;]I have had this 1972 Kennedy Half-Dollar for about 30 years and have never seen any other coin like it.&nbsp; I received it when I was requesting Kennedy&#039;s and Ike&#039;s from my bank to give my four kids as part of a reward system.&nbsp; One of the coins was a 1972 Kennedy that stood out immediately as visibly &#039;odd&#039; compared to the others. Rather than the usual copper stripe around the outer edge of the coin, there are 8x equally-spaced tiny copper-centered inserts at the edge of the planchet.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipOP9NRHzicrrS3xDeyEz7gZ_tCC4rfS0S3xJjVx" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipOP9NRHzicrrS3xDeyEz7gZ_tCC4rfS0S3xJjVx" rel="nofollow">https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipOP9NRHzicrrS3xDeyEz7gZ_tCC4rfS0S3xJjVx</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipNPcOLr72T8BI4ympJqU1T2TNkX82ri6CsWCB9_" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipNPcOLr72T8BI4ympJqU1T2TNkX82ri6CsWCB9_" rel="nofollow">https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipNPcOLr72T8BI4ympJqU1T2TNkX82ri6CsWCB9_</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipNzrjr2qAcnnM-ESlmeb0OC9GvFoa5gTa5N_Mmn" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipNzrjr2qAcnnM-ESlmeb0OC9GvFoa5gTa5N_Mmn" rel="nofollow">https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipNzrjr2qAcnnM-ESlmeb0OC9GvFoa5gTa5N_Mmn</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipO_Jjd620AGjD-hyh_Sjcgm6yui_ilys5-5tjh5" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipO_Jjd620AGjD-hyh_Sjcgm6yui_ilys5-5tjh5" rel="nofollow">https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipO_Jjd620AGjD-hyh_Sjcgm6yui_ilys5-5tjh5</a></p><p><br /></p><p>(The unusual Kennedy is on the left with a typical one on the right for comparison.)</p><p><br /></p><p>They&#039;re also visible as an texture change from the obverse and reverse of the coin at the raised edge as well.&nbsp; The obverse has a fine satin finish, much like a standard Kennedy but a slightly lighter color. However the reverse is a shiny finish that is not quite as mirror like as a proof-struck coin but notable more shiny than typical. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have never been able to find anything on any Kennedy, or other 1972 mint set or special minting that could account for this uncommon planchet or finish in 30 years.</p><p><br /></p><p>Can anyone shed some light on what this is or what it is worth?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
