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. I didn't think anyone was going to reply that fast. Thank you so much and look forward to chatting with you all more about this darn addicting hobby I've been sucked into. lol
