Hail24 Valued Member United States 155 Posts	Posted 03/25/2020 12:28 am Was going through all my 1971 Kennedy half dollars since I finally have a microscope and went through about 20 and then came across this. I am not saying it is worth extra money but would love to know the correct terms for what it could be. Any help from all the coin experts here would be amazing. Thanks Chris Report this Post to the Staff
