Harkness Valued Member United States 70 Posts	Posted 05/18/2015 3:13 pm I found this in the error collection my husband inherited. I've been trying to figure this one out for a few days now. It looks like there was a mint mark, and it just didn't stay on. It also looks much different than any of the other Kennedys I have. More satin-y? Any help or information I could get on this would be amazing. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/18/2015 3:21 pm Looks like it is a stain. Note the Die scratches on that area? There no mint mark on your coin. The mark on the head is a mark from the reeding from another coin. Edited by coop 05/18/2015 6:40 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Harkness Valued Member United States 70 Posts	Posted 05/18/2015 3:44 pm Thanks guys! I just got confused that it might be where the marks were on the other ones. I looked again and now I noticed it. Haha. Report this Post to the Staff

The 1964-1967 mint mark was on the reverse. Quote: Thanks guys! There are a number of gals here at CCF and they know their stuff. Report this Post to the Staff

I happen to be a girl that calls people 'guys' indiscriminately. I call my daughter 'guy'. It has nothing to do with gender, or species for that matter. Animals aren't even safe from being called guy. And I am learning my stuff, it just happens that the 48 hours straight I spent researching the other coins I have left little time or energy for fully researching this one. Thanks for the help though. :) Report this Post to the Staff
