norman02 Valued Member Switzerland 90 Posts	Posted 06/08/2022 4:18 pm Not sure about this one. A local collector said it has some special interest as to the extra hair above the ear. What I would like to know, if nay at all, is the silver content. Many thanks for looking Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/08/2022 6:40 pm That was just a one year issue on the hair line. 1964 Accented hair proof. The reverse has an issue with Lathe lines on it: There are markers for the obverse as well: Seems like this could be a single die issue, or a single obverse/reverse hub issue for that year. Never heard it confirmed either way. If that is so, if it were a single die issue, the Proofs only struck 3000 coins. (6K strikes) So I'm not sure it is was a single dies issue, or a single working hubs altereation? (There goes my brain, thinking again) but this was only on the 1964 proof accented hair coins. Nothing know for the the 1968 halves. Edited by coop 06/08/2022 6:42 pm Report this Post to the Staff
