Dearborn Moderator United States 95785 Posts	Posted 05/05/2021 6:48 pm I'm trying to find a nice example of a 1979-S type 2 proof Kennedy half coin but every coin I seem to find has a similar abraded area just in front of Kennedy's ear (sometimes also on the ear lobe). Can someone explain this? NGC, PCGS have them graded one at PF 69 UCAM (NGC) and PR-69 DCAM (PCGS) which mak no mention of the abrasion(shiny spots). as well as other sellers in ungraded coins. I can't seem to find one without this mark on the obverse. Examples noted below: ebay item number:143917358527 ebay item number:312837893967 ebay item number:114764856642 ebay item number:273947088816 Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Rothery Pillar of the Community 2145 Posts	Posted 05/05/2021 9:14 pm Looks like that area has had the frost rubbed off? And be careful when you look at auctions, 3 out of the 4 auctions you posted are using stock pictures because they sell multiples of that coin. Make sure the description reads like "the exact coin pictured is the one you will receive". Report this Post to the Staff

I just went looking at a lot of the 79 Kennedy's to see if that rubbing was wide spread.. So far I only see it on the type 2 DCAM and UCAM coins... Collecting since 1972.
