I am looking for info on this 1995 P Kennedy Half There is a continuous flat area in front of the eye, and behind the nose. This flat area looks to be the same level as the planchet surface. I have found a couple of these 1992+ halves, that have the low profile obverse design that started in 1992, and they have unusual flat spots in various places that seem to be at the same level as the planchet.
I assume you are referring to the area inside the device, I'd agree with Fred that it is an over polished die that removed part of the design. NAV, no added value, IMHO.
I think you have mistakenly looked at the scratch as his question and not the area inside of the device. I've been known to be wrong before, but I've had my coffee for the day. LOL
@CoinAce Yes to over polished die. But I might add, if you are looking at Jefferson nickels or Washington quarters you will see a similar effect behind the pony tails of both coins. In Kennedy's I have also seen this at the top of the head where this is a clear separation between the hair and lettering. Use a mint set of coins of all these coins as a comparison point. Your mint set coins will usually have a very decent strike and enable you to see the difference on non mint set coins.
