Found this last week. The "horns" on JFK's nose (actually REV olive branch leave remnants) are very easy to see without any magnification. The pointers on the pic also show the spikes on his chin and other REV details.

Does anyone have an idea on the value of one of these (second 1983 found - also have two decent 1971 Ds)

Nice clash. Did you find it in the wild or purchase it? Either way cool coin.

This was in the wild and was exciting to see when I saw it. I look for these specifically, and have found some very minor ones (and let them go b/c it took my microscope to see them). Any ideas on value? I am thinking of offering one of these for trade but have no idea what to expect as an even trade for one.

BTW Coop - thanks for the pic.
The overlay you provided also shows how much the design changed from 1983 to 2010.

The leaves in the overlay don't line up perfectly with the way the "horns" appear on his nose. Looking at the topmost leaf in the nose makes this more obvious. On the coin, the right side of this topmost leaf is totally visible. In the overlay, the right side of this same leaf impacts into his forehead. Sometime it would be interesting to take all of the years and see just how much of a difference there is from year to year.

Let me work on that Raymo - Maybe I can get some tomorrow AM when the sun is hitting the dining room table. I will try to find the others I have also and get pics of them. I agree this thing is cool. Maybe I am wrong, but for some reason I do not think there is as much interest in something like this as I see for RPMs and die cracks. Personally I think this kind of error is a lot more eye catching.
