Aargumaniz New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 07/15/2021 3:37 pm I'm really stumped on this one. It is much thinner than other 67 halves, Weighs 10.96g, and has either severe wear or some type of defect on obverse. I'm a complete novice at this, so any info and advise would be greatly appreciated! Report this Post to the Staff

HappyHippo Valued Member United States 266 Posts	Posted 07/15/2021 7:18 pm I doubt if it was wear from circulation. No half dollar Kennedy probably touched more than 20 hands I've never been to a casino. Are there 50 cent slot machines? Report this Post to the Staff

jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3848 Posts	Posted 07/16/2021 01:23 am Most likely a pocket piece. Doesn't look like a die adjustment strike. Note the polished look, from the coin constantly rubbing inside a pocket. Suffering from bust half fever. Want to learn how to attribute early half dollars by die variety?
