DantesDad New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 02/21/2013 7:44 pm Hi All, I've been trying to complete set's of different denominations for my son, and while going through Kennedy halves; I found one that doesn't look right. The edge of it isn't reeded like the rest of them; but it's the only 1974 I've found so far. Does this make it damaged? Should I just roll it up and bring it back to the bank and try for a better conditioned one? Edited by DantesDad 02/21/2013 8:56 pm Report this Post to the Staff

DantesDad New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 02/21/2013 8:57 pm Hopefully those pictures will help. I appreciate anything you guys might suggest; I just don't want to be the guy who gives the bank something special for nothing; would much rather have my boys appreciate it.

Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 02/21/2013 9:01 pm is the rim thicker than normal? its a little hard from your pictures, but it being a Dryer Coin is first thing I thought Report this Post to the Staff
DantesDad New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 02/21/2013 9:38 pm It does seem a little thicker, but I dont know how to measure that, and I don't have a scale unfortunately. Does a Dryer Coin mean what it sounds like? Report this Post to the Staff
Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10038 Posts	Posted 02/21/2013 9:38 pm I roll search Kennedys and go through quite a bi just like this. This smooth edge is not all that uncommon and normally is just wear on the coin. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

Indian1 Pillar of the Community United States 3640 Posts	Posted 02/22/2013 09:44 am What part of the country are you from ? I'm from Mass. and up until just a a few years or so ago the half was a common slot machine denomination at two of the casinos down in CT. Most of the half's that I had found in rolls were like this one. Now the slot machines take a card and not half's anymore so I am finding fewer. Like mentioned, most likely a slot worn half.
