1964 Kennedy Half Uncirculated Roll All With Harsh Polish Lines

At first I though this was a mint issue, but after looking more into it. The affected area is not just the fields. The raised devices seem to be affected as well. So I'm thinking this is coin polishing, not die scratches.

Must agree. These are now simply junk silver, or coins worth only their bullion content.

It's been harshly cleaned. It's now junk Silver and is only worth melt value.

Thank you all! and yes I see what you mean, Kennedy's face is scratched on most of these. How did I get so lucky LOL. But it was a good lesson for me, now I know to research die making/polishing. I had no idea that only the fields are affected in die polishing. I'm just learning as I go, learn something new everyday. and @Spence yes, I managed to find about twenty of these scratched coins, I had already put them in the sorting bins but they were on top and not too hard to find. My husband is very ill but Ill take pics and post them soon. Thank you for your interest!

Looks like they were cleaned. PMD.

@Spence sorry for the delay but I picked out some of the worst ones to show you! And @JimmyD you stated that polish marks would only be in the fields and that is true for these coins. I know it doesn't apply here but I did find an article by Wexler stating that proof dies in general were cleaned after about every 1000 coins and that the incused design was polished with a wire brush leaving fine impressions on those areas. But there were no pictures of such in the article.

@Errers and Varietys. I don't see where anyone ever mentioned that they were proof coins?

@Spence Thank you, I agree!
