Guy, I found this today in a new roll from my local bank, of Kennedy half dollar with three dates on it. 1960, 1980, and 1983....please advise!    At first I though some yahoo...punched dates on the Obverse. But then under a microscope, I could see that they were all raised numbers and not reverse number that look like fakes. Need your help on this one. I looked in the Red Book and can't find this coin anywhere....kind of crazy. Plus, this thing is very shinny. I can see my relection in the coin.  |

It's called a counterstamped coin. It's a good example.
Errers and Varietys.

Appears to have been plated also.

To answer you question in the title, you have a normal Business Strike Half, that was plated.

No! Well, yes, it has a yellow tint too it. But, I think mine was in error. Rather that have the 1960 to 1985 (25 year anniversary, Mine says...1960 to 1980 on an 1983 date coin....that's all messed up!

In going through my Father-in-law's collection, it appears we have this same 1983 Kennedy half-dollar with 1960 and 1980 stamped upon it. What might this coin be worth?

More left in the holder. (to a non collector) Out of the holder, face value. (to a collector) The coin is not original and damaged now to a collector.
