hokiefan_82 Pillar of the Community United States 3641 Posts	Posted 05/25/2021 7:08 pm I had a laminated cardboard "Kennedy and Lincoln Interesting Facts" card I was given a few decades ago. It included a '64 Kennedy half and a 10k gold miniature Lincoln Cent. I decided a while back to remove the coins from the holder as it had deteriorated quite a bit, and while the obverse of the Kennedy half looked ordinary, the reverse had some colorful toning. It's actually far more vibrant in hand than the picture shows. Not really worth more than melt, but I found the reverse colors interesting. Member of SPMC, FCCB, ANA and ANS.
