GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 04/23/2023 11:01 am Machine20 and Jbuck .thanks for the reply. The interesting story of this coin, the man who found this coin was my next door neighbor, in Michigan, when I was young. He must have pulled it from circulation in the late 70's or early 80's. He had a small box of typical coins some people pull out and saved. Coins like wheat cents, SBA's and half dollars. In the 90's he retired and moved to Florida. In 2004 I move to Florida and found out he lived a few miles from my home there. When he passed away, I helped his daughter clean out his house. she took that box of coins to her home in Maryland. Recently She called me, she was looking through that box of coins and thought this one looked different. She called me, we talk about it and she sent it to me. Neither the father or daughter collect coins. Several local coin dealers and the XRF machine believe this is a wrong planchet 1977D Kennedy half dollar. Tomorrow I will take the coin to the dealer that will either send it to NGC or take it next weekend to central states coins show and drop it off there. Report this Post to the Staff

datadragon Pillar of the Community United States 1648 Posts	Posted 05/31/2023 8:19 pm Thanks for coming back. Its great that its been authenticated. Between 2007 and 2018, Heritage Auctions has sold six examples of the wrong planchet error: https://www.coinworld.com/news/us-c...ver-planchet #10148; NGC AU-58, April 26, 2018, $6,600. #10148; NGC AU-55, June 9, 2016, $4,230. #10148; NGC MS-63, Sept. 4, 2014, $3,055. #10148; PCGS MS-62, Feb. 4, 2014, $5,875. #10148; PCGS MS-64, Jan. 6, 2007, $6,900. #10148; ANACS AU-50, Jan. 14, 2005, $3,737.50. GreatCollections has sold one example twice, at its online auction platform: #10148; PCGS MS-62, March 23, 2014, $5,170. #10148; PCGS MS-62, July 6, 2014, $5,005. So not sure what the cleaned details will do to the final price but its still a rare find, congrats and have the story to back it also. Report this Post to the Staff
