Based on the OP's find, clearly I'm not the only person to do this.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the other side, twice in change I received Kennedy half dollar proofs; once a 1971S and another time a 1989S. I didn't even realize they were proofs until later, they lost their mirror finish and had a tad bit of wear on them but still looked quite sharp, though they had a lot of fingerprints in the field as you'd expect from circulated proofs.

But I still kept them in my collection just because they were pretty cool finds.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
