STKRollHunter New Member United States 49 Posts	Posted 02/12/2021 5:16 pm Looking for some help on identifying the cause of 2 dimples on the obverse of a 1971 Kennedy half dollar. The largest dimple is near Kennedy's temple with a smaller one near the base of the neck. I am not sure what the cause is. Any help would be appreciated. Furthermore, does this add any value or collectability? Report this Post to the Staff

There is no way that could happen during the striking of the coin. Being damage, it adds no value, in fact if that was worth more than face, it would decrease the value. Report this Post to the Staff
