808cashhunter New Member United States 15 Posts	Posted 11/10/2022 7:47 pm Kennedy half with very weak details on the obverse and a little on the reverse. My first thought was plated but the rim looks normal and I can see the copper center. My second thought was some kind of decal but I can't indent the face and there is no "edge" that I could peel it. Is this a possible grease strike or worn die? Coin weighs 10.9 grams. Thanks in advance. * Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title.

Dearborn Moderator United States 94728 Posts	Posted 11/10/2022 9:14 pm Well it looks like the obverse was excessively worn down. Even part of the rim is gone. Having a weight on this coin would be very helpful. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6381 Posts	Posted 11/10/2022 11:37 pm Just spitballing here, but two possibilities come to mind: 1. An ordinary coin that is heavily worn, maybe used as a pocket piece. 2. A coin struck on a slightly thin and underweight planchet, then moderately worn. Not worth any premium, IMO.
