What do you guys think. I found this in a bank roll. Is there anything else that would tell me if this is real or not? Sorry about the blurry picture, I only have my phone's camera.

That looks like one of the altered dies, that polished away the 'FG'. A closer view might help to see if it is, totally gone.

JFK halves are a specialty of mine.

As Coop said, this could be the 72-D No FG variety. I have searched thousands (literally) of halves looking for these and other varieties.

In your pic, I can see a shadow of the FG. This happens on an awful lot of them if you tilt them at just the right angle. However, I have also seen this "ghosted" FG on slabbed coins graded by the top coin grading companies and being offered for sale on ebay.

I am guessing these ghosts may be a case where the camera can see something our eyes do not when it takes the pic, or the TPGs are not concerned there is absolutely no trace of an FG.

BTW

How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?
