Second, there was an issue with grease and grit and possible fiber mixed into the glop that you coin was struck through. Pretty much just a spender coin. If the coin was BU, it would have a lot more value, not for the events that happened to it, but on the BU coins of 1982,83 there were no mint sets (both together) those years. If you wanted a mint set, from each you have to travel to there to get one from each mint. (With that mints set) But it is a spender now. Report this Post to the Staff

Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 02/12/2021 5:33 pm Interesting! I like both the effects of the aggressive die polishing and the strike through. I have several over polished Kennedy halves that have a "Halo" look to the bust. I don't see it as very valuable, but I don't see it as a spender either. This is an excellent educational coin! I'd keep it as such and would love to have this one in my collection. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!
