First the pictures suck...its the best I got for now. Looking for a coin camera when funds allow.

First, a 1971D Half with some type of issue on the obverse. It could be Post mint but it doesn't look like it. Maybe a grease strike of some type?

Next is the most awesome toned Kennedy I have seen. Maybe that is what made her take a closer look and she found a winner just for that. The picture does not do it justice for sure. What she noticed was some error on the back. I saw it and I think its a grease issue but maybe someone could enlighten me on it..

The first one looks like a struck through something. Grease or debris. The sunken in areas are deep. Does the reverse show anything?

The reverse below the clouds and next to the rays it looks like a grease issue of some type.
