XavierOfGreen Pillar of the Community United States 2589 Posts	Posted 07/31/2008 11:28 pm I found this Bicentenial Kennedy half while roll searching and found it a bit odd. Is this what they call a die adjustment strike or is it weakly struck? Or is it nothing special? Any help would be much appreciated. - XoG Image: DieAdjustmentStrikeOb.jpg 76.49 KB Image: DieAdjustmentStrikeRe.jpg 85.12 KB Report this Post to the Staff

littleboy Pillar of the Community United States 764 Posts	Posted 07/31/2008 11:38 pm in addition to weighing it, could you tell us what the edge of the coin is like? reeds there or worn down? Report this Post to the Staff

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2734 Posts	Posted 07/31/2008 11:46 pm It doesn't look authentic. The coin lacks the proto-rim of the original planchet, the "unstruck" areas lack tumbling marks, and Kennedy's head is too flat. Methinks it was buffed down. Error coin writer and researcher.

foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 08/01/2008 2:41 pm I agree with the pocket piece scenario. I think it is heavily worn and has been thoroughly "thumbed" over the years. If some folks remember, "worry beads"...Some folks just thumb a coin to relieve tension. Anyway, however it got worn, that's what I see. Have Fun, Bill Report this Post to the Staff
