Indian1 Pillar of the Community United States 3640 Posts	Posted 06/17/2008 7:07 pm Hi again :) I found this BU plus half in a bank roll the other day and thought, nice coin except for that deep scratch on the neck (obv.) looking closer I noticed it seemed odd. Very smooth edges along the length but it is indented into the surface. Thought post mint type damage but now not so sure. I looked at some random pics. of other kenns. the same year and noticed a few (not all) had a similar line on them. Coincidence or is this common on this yr. ? I know die cracks are raised but what would cause an indentation like this if not post mint damage ? Thank's http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2008.../95dneck.jpg Report this Post to the Staff

foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 06/17/2008 11:00 pm Very common on a well struck coin. It is part of the design. They modified the dies when they went to single squeeze technology with respect to making dies. I don't remember what year they changed on the Kennedys but they all look like that on coins that are struck with fresh dies. Edited by foundinrolls 06/17/2008 11:01 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Indian1 Pillar of the Community United States 3640 Posts	Posted 06/17/2008 11:12 pm Thanks. Interesting. The coin just jumped right out when I opened the roll (not literally:) Especially when it was mixed in with a bunch of slot coins and other junk. Had such a nice luster and even slight mirrors with a hint of blue tint. Think i'll keep it. Only things probably keeping it from MS 66 are too many bag marks and a couple light dings etc. Report this Post to the Staff
