acidic1 Pillar of the Community United States 632 Posts	Posted 10/03/2007 1:46 pm I was going though a couple of rolls of Kennedy half dollars and I came across this weird one. It looks like a proof, the edge is solid silver across, Its a P mint 1983 which says its NOT a proof and also its stamped. Has anybody come across something like this?. Report this Post to the Staff

GO Moderator United States 6563 Posts	Posted 10/03/2007 2:01 pm Very interesting. I haven't seen that before. It's not a proof. Just been very heavily polished. The counter stamp is quite interesting. I'd love to know what the 20 years commemorated for someone. Report this Post to the Staff
jcook54 Pillar of the Community United States 533 Posts	Posted 10/03/2007 2:25 pm Never seen anything like that. I too would wonder what the 20 year meant for someone. Where did you get the rolls? I am curious because maybe a dealer thought it was junk and just threw it in one. Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 10/03/2007 2:53 pm I have a similar coin in my collection, mine is gold plated and countered stamped 1963-1983. This would have been the 20th anniversary of his assassination. Yours dated 1960-1980 is the 20th anniversary of his election. Report this Post to the Staff
acidic1 Pillar of the Community United States 632 Posts	Posted 10/03/2007 3:24 pm Wow, Thanks echizento. I would have NEVER put that together. Mine must be chromed or silver plated or something. Worth puting into the collection anyway. Thanks. J. Report this Post to the Staff
gatzdon Valued Member United States 280 Posts	Posted 10/03/2007 4:35 pm I have about a half roll now of these found from searching rolls (these aren't what I'm searching for, but I keep them as I find them). They commemorate some aspect of Kennedy, be it his election, assasination, or whatever. I figure when I get a full roll, maybe I'll list them on ebay for $10 plus shipping.
