<p>[QUOTE="chascat, post: 2662885, member: 76792"]Because when the coin was presented to Mrs. Kennedy for approval, she didn,t like the hair detail and asked if it could be changed. That,s why the A H Kennedy got it,s name. Several other items were changed on the coin at the same time...the serif on the I in Liberty and the reverse was completely modified at that time. The old design was the AH type 1 rev., and the new coin was the modified obv. with the type 2 rev. Several die varieties are common on 64 Kennedys...the type 1 and type 2 reverses are found on the later PF coins struck in 1964, and on 1964 P&D business strikes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
