Hello, my dad recently passed away and I was going through his coin collection and came across a Kennedy half dollar with a old looking nose. It looks different than the other coin I have from the same year. Ill post both pictures of 2 different coins from the same year. Is this an error or just from being a circulated coin. Thanks for your help.

. Could use a full coin photo,but looks like "maybe" an over polished die or a worn die? My condolences for your dads passing.

Looks like the nose/brow area was affected by a strong polishing to remove a Feeder Finger Damage issue. Looks like a altered the brow and added a bump up on the nose. Just a die event.
