CreativeName Valued Member United States 65 Posts	Posted 09/22/2023 10:47 am It looks to me like it had tape on it, protecting the surface in the shape of the tape. Some of the tape still remains from what I can tell from the picture. Report this Post to the Staff
CreativeName Valued Member United States 65 Posts	Posted 09/22/2023 10:49 am A real 1964 Kennedy half that is full weight has about $8-$10 (USD) in silver in it right now. Just a ballpark guess. I can't evaluate much about the coin from the pictures though. Report this Post to the Staff

Cointree Valued Member United States 449 Posts	Posted 09/22/2023 11:18 am I agree it looks like there was tape on it and possibly still some residue (the yellowish stuff) from the tape. You can try soaking in acetone to see if it comes off. Silver value of it at 90% silver is around $8. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 96837 Posts	Posted 09/22/2023 1:40 pm Sure looks like very old dried out tape residue - a good overnight soak in pure Acetone should remove it. Collecting since 1972.

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 09/22/2023 6:51 pm My vote is tape. Try an acetone soak and let us know what happens. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
