    1995 P half ....there is a line through kennedys neck that looks as though the die had a crack..is it worth holding or is it just a coin with a mark on it...and holds no value...it is not just one i have 4 or 5 like it all with the same raised line...has anyone else seen it?

    Yes it sounds like a die crack. Unfortunately die cracks rarely add value to a coin. Yes they are kinda neat and yes quite few collect them. If you like them, keep them - if not, spend them.

    I have four 1998 P halves with the same line through the neck.

    I agree with GD, they are neat, but nominal value in some cases. How'd you come across it?

    If there are any coin shows in your area you would find such errors bring a small premium but nothing fantastic. You could sell it there for a few dollars. Or put in up on ebay and sell it for thousands.:goofer: Others do.

    I came across it looking through some rolls this perticular half was in good shape so i started looking at it and noticed the line in his neck..then later came across another with the same line so I dug out all the 95 p..i had and noticed they all had the line and i miss spoke it is not a raised line it is and indent on the coin

    This is actually quite common in the 1990's years. It's like they used the same obverse die year after year.
    At first I saved them all but then came to find so many more that I spent the ugly ones/ then spent them all.
