Hello coin nerds. I am a recent coin nerd, about 2 years in and I am addicted. This is my first post and hope I am posting it correctly.

I have a few JFK's random years that have a perfect circle imprinted in the half dollar. I can't think of any other way of describing it, and can't find any answers. I figure Someone here is Coin Nerdier than me that know's what this is. I will try to post a pic when I can. Until then, does anyone know what I mean? It seems to be a PERFECT ring/circle all around the face of the coin. The circle is almost right under the Word Liberty and goes perfectly all the way around as a full circle? Thanks in advance for any help.

Where's the Pictures dude > lol

Best to post pictures for us to assist. Sounds like a wheelmark, damage done from a coin roll wrapping machine.

Without seeing the coin, it sounds familiar. I agree with Ty2020b.

haven seen the coin, but going to already agee with the likeliness of it being a coin Wrapping Machine Damage and the coin was on the end of the roll.

when they crimp the ends of a roll there's a piece of metal that does that and it gouges a circle on the end coin of a roll. it doesn't always happen, but it happens enoguh and on all denominations, its considered post minting damage and its a damaged coin.

Gotta agree with you guys.

Pics would really help!

to the CCF!

Thanks, without the pics. sounds like legit answers. I got busy and couldn't up load pics. going to try to ASAP. Thank you for all the WARM WELCOMES and guesses w/o pics.
