Perkycoin New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 11/26/2020 2:36 pm I am new to coin roll hunting. This clad 1971 D Kennedy half appears to have an error on reverse. It seems the top of the Kennedy head from obverse has struck through slightly. It can be seen from F-DOLL to under the bottom arrow head. It can also be seen under olive branch by the bottom Eagle toe. My questions are -How common is this? I cannot find any information on this error. I will try again to upload picture if it doesn't work with this initial post. Report this Post to the Staff

That might be due to the die striking this coin being tired.
