<p>[QUOTE="Notyard, post: 7408621, member: 111109"]I acquired two 1964 Kennedy half dollars a while back and when they first came into my possession, they seemed to be two ordinary coins one worth keeping only for the silver value and the other, appealing enough to add to my collection. Normally any coin that enters my home is almost immediately scrutinized under a loupe (if Im pressed for time) or under the scope if I'm not. That didn't happen this time. No sooner had I laid the coins down on my desk, my oldest child comes running through the backdoor yelling for me to come quick, her sister fell off her scooter and is hurt and instead of the laid back, move at my own pace scenario I had dreamed up in my head for the day. Its now a trip to the hospital to mend a broken wrist day. Needless to say, the coins didn't get pushed to the back of my mind. They got pushed out entirely. Coupled with the fact my wife decided to straighten up while I was at the hospital, she put the coins in a drawer and forgot she ever touched them. That's where they sat until a week ago when we decided to spring clean. I put the coins in my safe until we finished organizing our home and then I gave them a thorough look over. What I saw is something I think the coin community should be aware of, so I decided to share my findings and I hope you find it as entertaining as I have. Here are my photos of one of my 1964 Philadelphia minted Kennedy half dollars and my newest addition to the Kennedy line a 1964 Denver minted Kennedy half dollar with no mint mark.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
