<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mark Kerner, post: 8329167, member: 113035&quot;]So I went to a couple of local banks today looking for the new Sally Ride AWQ quarters.&nbsp; At least I found 5 rolls of Maya Angelou’s at one bank which I grabbed.&nbsp; The second bank had no AWQ rolls at all, so I decided to ask if they had any rolls of JFK halves.&nbsp; They came back with what they had - $5 worth.&nbsp; Lo and behold, one of them turned out to be a pretty nice 1969-D with a few blemishes seen below, and real nice luster.&nbsp; Wonder if it’s worth more than the 40% silver.&nbsp; I also got a 2000-D, which is probably nothing special, but I had not realized that both the obverse and reverse had been redesigned (not sure when that began).&nbsp; I&#039;m posting pictures of them side-by-side.&nbsp;&nbsp; I’m still learning, so I wonder if you could help me out with a few questions I have about the 1996-D coin’s reverse.&nbsp; Can anyone help me determine if the first “A’ in AMERICA has a bag mark, some grease damage, or something else?&nbsp; Also, what is the reason for the raised impression over the word “DOLLAR”?&nbsp; It doesn’t look like it’s from a wrapping machine, so what is it?&nbsp; I just got a Tomlov DM4S microscope, but I couldn’t capture the entire coin’s image using it, so I took these photos with my iPhone, so I could get the whole image in.&nbsp; Any pointers are appreciated.&nbsp; Thanks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
