Large depression on the obverse temple of Kennedy. I can only assume the reverse die was polished to oblivion. Has anyone seen this on Kennedys? Report this Post to the Staff

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 03/27/2022 9:19 pm I'm going to say that the portrait of Kennedy takes so much to fill, that if the planchet was a little underweight that's where it came from. Like the area " states of" on a Memorial cent. Report this Post to the Staff

Hard to tell from the photos but the smith spot on the epluribus is raised to the height of the other letters. It's not depressed. Almost like a large Cud, although I don't think that is possible.

Willburton Pillar of the Community United States 2558 Posts	Posted 03/28/2022 08:05 am I have a Washington with a similar grease on the obverse. Also the F in FG is gone. I bet that's why you were thinking over polished. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/28/2022 12:49 pm Looks like a Feeder Finger die damage that altered the die, was polished to continue to use this die. Some Grease Fill issues during the strike. None are a premium for this coin. Report this Post to the Staff
