Half Dollar Box Hunt, No Silver :( But a very interesting error half)

Hey guys, so I picked up a box, well $450 worth of half dollars from the bank today and hunted through the rolls, found no silver, I believe I got a bunch of rolls dumped from someone hunting aswell, but thats ok because I found this half dollar. Well I found 3 error coins but this is by far the most interesting, not sure whats going on with it it weighs 10.7 grams, has no date, is not silver and looks weird all around, truly one of a kind, I think it was minted in Denver but the mint mark is just a square so there is really no telling, I would love some input as to whats up with this coin. A regular half dollar weighs 11.3 grams so I know this is not just a worn out half dollar.

IT's just a damaged Half. The coin was ground or sanded down.

 

Im not sure about that, I'm pretty sure its a mint error, its slightly smaller swell.

 

There is no way that happened at the mint. Somebody had too much time on their hands.

 

There are very little scratches on it. it would be all scratched up if someone sanded it down.

 

Stuff like that happens at the mint all the time. Thats where Error coins come from.

 

This didn't happen at the mint.

 

Well I guess well find out, I will be taking it to a coin shop with a few others I have to be examined.

 

Literally watching Couch Collectables channel now and they have a bicentinal coin that looks just like the one I found. So yeahhh I think I might have something. give it a watch

 

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? You are trusting some twenty year old on youtube with a coin roll searching account? Ever heard of Clickbait?
Please read this thread of Numismatic Misinformation on YouTube

 

He knows his stuff. Plus it showed a picture of a bicentenial that looked just like the one I have in a graded case.

 

Please search on Heritage Auctions for me, find a certified example, authenticated by PCGS or NGC, then give me a hollar when you find report back to us. Can't wait to hear about what you won't find

 

If you watched his channel you would know its not click bait.

 

Whats a graded case? Never heard of one. Do you mean a Third Party Authenticated slab?

 

Watch the video and you will see a coin similar to mine. certified.

 

Yes thats what I mean.

 

Oh believe me, I am well aware Who else do you watch?
JB coins? Half Dolla make me want to cringe?

 

Can you show me a picture of your "graded case"?

 

When the first thing they do is to tell you to like, subscribe, notification, buy this, watch this.
ALL THEY ARE DOING IS ADVERTISEMENT AND PROMOTION SO THEY CAN SELL WHATEVER SCHEME THEY HAVE TO THE BEGINNERS AND THE IGNORANT.

 

Stephen, what I see is definitely a Kennedy half. The difference in weight, 0.6 of a gram, is negligible considering how much of the coin has been ground away.
To me it looks like someone was trying to put some sort of knife edge on it, like a throwing star, but circular.
