Beachgirl New Member Australia 2 Posts	Posted 06/18/2021 01:02 am Hi Everyone, I have a 1968 Kennedy half dollar with a circle indent on the front (I apologize as I am not quite sure what this is called). I was wondering if anyone could share their opinion as I am only a newbie to coin collecting. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

The machine that crimps the paper around the coins made contact with this coin. The ring was caused as the machine turned and cut this ring into the surface. Sorry to say, but this is just a damaged coin now. PMD It's only worth the melt value for a 40% silver half dollar or $3.88 with silver at $26.25 per ounce.
