[QUOTE="insidehersource, post: 1514620, member: 39814"]I don't profess to be more than an amateur collector, but I have done enough research during my studies to realize that I haven't done enough to figure out what kind of error coin this Kennedy Half is. There is metal loss on both sides and the edge thins to the point where the milling is gone. I'm stumped. What the **** happened to this coin? The striations stump me, the fact that both sides have metal loss stump me as does everything else about this coin. Is this some kind of freak multiple strike with a blank planchet on one side, scrap metal on the other, lamination issues thrown in as well as metal fatigue? Because I don't see how this coin could be made to look like this if one tried. Either I've stumbled upon a valuable rarity or wasted several hours. The Kennedy Half is a 1968 D. It weighs 10 grams. Any help would be greatly appreciated. What exactly caused these deformations? Is the coin worth being appraised if so? If not, what is the fair market value? Thomas[/QUOTE]
