The reverse image was there yesterday, now it is an 1889 IHC. |

I'm still relatively new, but I've never seen anything like that. I'm curious to see if you guys come to a consensus on this.

To add in my $.02 worth (so to speak) to this thread I have a Kennedy half that has a part of the lamination separated. Here is a picture showing the separation. It happened in 2 places on this 1968 half dollar.  Bad bunch of coinage materials? Edited by Michael_T

Not sure why the 1889 IH took over the pic of the reverse of the Kennedy half. I did post that as another topic. It has a completely different file name. Thanks for all the responses. |

Here is the pic of the reverse that was usurped.  Edited by glentom1

It's a struck clad layer. The clad layer separated from a blank and entered the striking chamber by itself. The weight and appearance is right. I think it separated from a blank rather than a planchet because the edge shows reeding. That would indicate the clad layer was as wide or slightly wider than the collar. If it had separated from a planchet there would be little or no reeding since the diameter would be smaller than the collar and there wouldn't be enough pressure applied to make it expand.

Great explanation Mr. Diamond! Any idea on the value of a piece like this?

Value would probably be in the the $200 to $250 range.

Thanks again for all your replies. My nephew being a young guy will probably hang on to it for 20 or 30 years before he gets interested in selling, so is not a bad investment for him.

junk jewlery
you take a piece of thin metal place over the half dollar or any coind then lay it face down into a 2x4 wood and go SMACK from behind !
it leaves a inpression and you use the metal with the impression for junk jewlrey like belt buckles,jackets
flea market crap ,
that one is a obvious reject that didnt turn out so well and prob thrown away.
The clue was the popper sound , you said it pops in and out . Thats what those impression metals do.
