Without a date, I agree, no grade.

 it can't be graded. Even Poor 1 requires that the date and mint mark are discernable. |

No, I'm serious Coinfrog. They each confirmed my suspicions. Thanks guys!  ! I would have submitted it in a heartbeat if there was a slight indication of a date. I see some slight surface scratches. If it had a date, not sure if it would have straight graded PO1. I think I would have taken the chance..........after running it past you guys again. |

Surely this has been artificially created, USSID.

Even common 19th c. silver coins that circulated everyday for 75+ years seldom looked like this, much less a Kennedy half that ranks among the least circulated non-commemorative coins in history.  Edited by Coinfrog

Easy to do: Grind in down, buff it smooth on a wheel, and then tumble it to obscure the work.  |
