I was going through about 10 of these before their date with the coin star machine and saw long thin layered coats of metal running up over the edge. So I gave it another look and I believe I found 2 greenish spots where the bill was retained and a mini 10 dollar bill pressed into the reverse that I have a hard time picking up unless it's in the right light. Also there looks to be an X through the obverse. I have 1 questions. Are there 1000s of these or do coins typically stay around the area they're sent and I just got real lucky.

You can't be serious. Well, there are scratches on the obverse.

Why don't you do a side by side then tell me they're just scratches. Here's the 2 retained green pieces under my loupe blacklight. I'm not 100 percent either but I know your scratch theory is wrong. Half his face is concave, I have 10 kennedys in front of me for comparisons

Dude all it is is probably just wear from being circulated, nothing special.

And no there aren't any $1000 and never have been.

Strange,reminds me of the image of Jesus on the piece of toast..... I once saw what looked like a Silver Eagle in the clouds one day while I was lying in the grass just watching the clouds go by and then .......

I cannot see any such image. This is just random toning/ discolouration that is creating vague images on the coin. That being said, I cannot even see a vague image.

I agree!

The only thing of note I see is some weakness of strike near the rim, obv & rev. Is it fully reeded in these areas?

(But things that were highlighted are PSD since the mint would not have made dies with these details.)

Seems like you've drawn a bunch of arrows onto a photo of a Kennedy half... My guess: it's worth $.50

I've had to say it on many posts, and I'll say it again. This is just Pareidolia.

Here's a side by side of another 72. Sorry about awful editing, trying to do this at work. I'll do a better one in a minute
