I want to say it was in the mid-2010s and it had to do with the Kennedy half dollar having a weird finish or something? Can someone please help me jog my memory? Report this Post to the Staff

jbuck Moderator United States 189603 Posts	Posted 07/22/2025 11:56 am You are thinking of the special 2018-S reverse proof sets. In some of them, the Kennedy half dollar had a "light" reverse proof finish. https://goccf.com/t/312585 https://www.ngccoin.com/news/articl...-new-variety Coin Collector Since 1978 Avatar Old Avatar 7070 Eisenhower Australia Canada World CCF Members on eBay CCF eBay Search Engine Report this Post to the Staff
