[QUOTE="fusiafinch, post: 1264212, member: 18382"]Greetings all. I collect Kennedy halves, and I hope there is an expert in this series who can answer this question. We have some very knowledgeable people here. I know how to identify the Proof Accented Hair 1964 Kennedy variety. Here's a web page that explains it. [URL]http://www.ipotad.com/pages/ah2.html[/URL] My question has to do with the reverse die characteristics. I was looking through my collection the other day, and I found a 1964 business strike graded MS66 by NGC that definitely has the reverse die of the proof accented hair variety. I can't find that on any on my other Kennedys. The obverse is the normal die. Has anyone ever heard of this die pairing? Are there any resources I can look at to confirm this die pairing? Can someone check Breen for me and see if he mentions this? This same situation happened on the 1972 Ike Type 2 dollar, where a proof die was accidentally used for a business strike, and that variety is worth something. Could the Kennedy half display a similar situation? Thanks. Steve[/QUOTE]
