Not sure what to make of it and can't find any info related to what this could be. The lettering on the reverse looks like they stamped into the rim making it appear "rimless" Closest thing I could find is "broadstrike error" . Found it in a roll from the bank and thought it was interesting none the less because it the first one I've seen like it. Any advice or info to point me in the right direction on figuring out what it could be is appreciated! Note- on the reverse image, where it's extra "shiny" is where I believe the rim should be.   |

Just a Very Late Die State coin with extreme die wear, on the reverse. Not an error, since it's part of normal minting process.
Errers and Varietys.

11.34 grams is the normal, but it maybe close to normal. It maybe under enough that makes it show weakness on both rims on each side.

Thanks everyone! Will continue to hold onto until I find too many that it's not interesting anymore & seemed like a "bad strike" type of situation. |

Thanks! Glad to be here. Seems to be a large community.
Quick question for anyone, looking at the pictures zoomed in I noticed on the 2 of the date and also on the reverse the words "half dollar" appear to have signs of a die slip possibly? Something I didn't notice before zooming in on them.

*bump*
Still in search of a second opinion on the lettering on reverse of coin and the 2 on the obverse appear to have a possible double die when I looked closer at the image. Anyone able to zoom also and see what they think?

Makes me wonder it is was struck twice? Once in the collar, and once out of the collar. Seems like the reverse lower area of the strike was not contained in the collar? Is the diameter larger than a normal coin? If not, then that theory goes out the window. The other example of this happening here is that they diameter was increase a lot:  Edited by coop

I will try and get some comparison photos to post after work tomorrow. Didn't noticed a size difference from what I remember, besides the rim shape looking at it next to others fresh from the role. Noticeably thinner.
