hi, went to the bank today to get my usual box of cents and the tellers asks me do I still save halfs. I said sure and gave me 2 halfs, didnt look at them til I got home and the 1984d had this big S on the revere, I know it it didnt come that way, but was a cool find.

Interesting maveric counterstamp. I recommend cross-posting it here to see if you get an explanation (seems unlikely to me though):

Most metal shops have letter stamps for marking things. It would be so easy to stamp a coin just for kicks. I never did because what's the point?

Exactly, very easy to make, and there are thousands, but personally I'm not into defacing any coin.

"What's the point?" never much occurred to me when I was a kid.

Just about impossible to attribute the counterstamp, but still a neat find.
