rjmort New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 06/14/2013 11:43 am I found a 1974-D Kennedy half dollar coin while searching a roll. The 7 appears to have been polished off and also the mint mark appears to be a D over S. Has anyone seen this variety before? Report this Post to the Staff

rjmort New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 06/16/2013 09:38 am Right now I only have a cell phone (app) to take close ups of the coin. I was wrong about the D over S. When looking at it from different angles under magnification, it appears to be a very strong and maybe multiple punched mint mark. Are there any suggestions as to how to use a camera to take close up shots? I have a Nikon D400 camera with 23x zoom. Is there a way of using this to get those close up shots of mint marks and other small details on coins? Thanks for your encouraging comments!
