The first three images look like a large scratch, the last image is too blurry to see anything.

Can we get a shot of the full obverse? It looks like either a scratch or an impression from the rim of another coin (possibly another Kennedy half), but I can't tell from the arc shown.

I was trying to photograph a rise on the coins surface with a macro lens shooting from the side of the coin. The closest resemblance to anything I can think of would be a broken mirror.

A pic of the obverse in total. Correction this is obviously a 1967 and not a 1966.

I did not scratch the coin. I noticed after posting there appears to be a more common type image like a break running east west from the forehead hairline to the edge.

Here's a better shot of the NW quadrant. That one I would say is raised.
