Hello Everyone,

Just wondering if anyone has heard of a die gauge in a 2005-D Kennedy half.

While doing a rew machine wrapped rolls, I fan across about four them them and one is pristine with what appears to be a clear die gauge on the reverse slightly below the FG.

*** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. ***
Rest in Peace

I believe "die gouge" is what was intended.

OK! I'll bite. Not really sure what a die gouge is. Is it something like a die break?

Yeah, a die gouge is just a scrape that the die suffered at some point, creating a raised area on the coin. Like die breaks, they have to be really substantial to be worth anything.
