*** Edited by Staff to remove YELLING. All capital letters is the internet version of yelling. Please do not do it in titles or posts. ***

Can anyone please help me identify my JFK half dollar? SMS? My grandmother has had it for as long as I can remember and I know there are rare JFK half dollars around the 1964 date but that's about the extent of my knowledge base.I did have a person mention some defect about the number 4 which mine apparently didn't have and me and my coin were quickly dismissed.Any input would be helpful thank you.

First ...

Second it looks normal to me

Third, capital letters is yelling

Fourth, you need to crop and rotate your pics please it's hard to turn the monitor.

And last we need pics of sides of the coin to see what is going on.

Correct! Coin orientation is important. Also, It is often helpful to photo both side of the coins to be inspected.

AND: Welcome to the Forum. There are many experts on our site who are more than happy to assist you with your coin questions. {õ¿õ}

My apologies I met replying and submitting from my phone and didn't realize my caps was on and apparently sent the same pic twice instead of the reverse side

So I'm kind of new at this whole coin collecting thing and I was just wondering is it common to see such discoloration like the Kennedy one that I have the pink color on it I would just figure tarnished coins would be much older than 1964 but what do I know I'm a noob

....to the Community!

1). Toning, like you have on your coin, is a normal process and is found to be appealing by most collectors. Never try to remove it as you will ruin the coins numismatic appeal and value. In other words, DO NOT CLEAN YOUR COINS!

2). Please crop and rotate your pictures before posting them. Your phone camera has the features and tools available to do that.

3). You coin is very pretty!
