spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 03/22/2021 03:36 am It looks like possibly a slight grease strike-through or a die polishing issue; it's hard to tell. Can you post straight on pics of both sides?

chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 03/22/2021 08:59 am Posting pictures of both sides of the coin helps us help you.

CoinCents Pillar of the Community United States 3656 Posts	Posted 03/22/2021 09:11 am You have found a great place to learn about coins IMHO - Reminds me of Ghosting (i.e. Progressive Indirect Design Transfer) a form of extreme Die Deterioration like what I have on the Kennedy halves.

Big-Kingdom Pillar of the Community United States 1667 Posts	Posted 03/22/2021 09:55 am I'd like to request pictures of both sides and edge, but I'm seeing a partial collar strike at the moment from this one picture could be post mint damage also, people do strange things to coins. Would need a view of the other side of the coin, and what the edge is doing around the coin to be more conclusive. Possibly the anvil die stuck in the up or "eject" position so this coin only got half a reeded edge and a messed up strike? Maybe it unjammed during the strike? More pictures please. :) Edited by Big-Kingdom 03/22/2021 09:56 am Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/22/2021 1:08 pm Those are called halos. It is from over polishing the fields. We most often see it on the JFK halves.: Die wear flow lines also appear on that area: CoopHome: What is a halo on a coin? Edited by coop 03/22/2021 1:09 pm Report this Post to the Staff
