Hi all, new to this community and would like to ask for your thoughts on whether this is a struck through error made by a detached reeding. Almost seems like President Kennedy had stitches. The eagle's head is raised on the reverse side as a result.   Edited by hunter1001

Unfortunately, it looks like damage. A genuine strike through would not cause a raised area on the reverse, it would look normal.  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

to the CCF If it was a struck through, it wouldn't be raised on the Reverse. It is PMD from the reeding of another coin. |

PMD yes. Curious, the reverse seems to show an artifact caused by the 'hit' on the obverse--hard to tell given the reverse photo posted. That hit appears to have been rather hard. Too, the width of the obverse hit (reeding?) seems kind of wide for a common Kennedy half. Maybe hit by a fresh Ike dollar?. Curious--but PMD.

Jin noticed what I was going to bring up about the reeding hit being so wide. I agree that it would appear that it was "counter stamped" with an Ike dollar. And Welcome to the Forum. You've come to a phenomenal place to share and learn. Explore and Enjoy! Edited by chafemasterj

Thanks everyone for your feedback (and coop for the analysis). This is the first time I have seen this type of damage on a coin. I got too excited after finding it in my first box of coin roll hunting. But, in thinking about this more, completely agree with what everyone said. A mint error would not have resulted in a push-out on the other side.  Hopefully, I can find some genuine mint error in the second box. |
