I have a 1972D Kennedy half dollar with an indent from a one cent planchet. It has been graded by NGC at MS64 and I'm having a difficult time in finding a similar coin so as to come up with a value. Can anyone help? As a newbie, I hope this type of post is permitted. If not, my apologies and please delete. I couldn't find anything in the guidelines about posting something like this. Thank You.  |

 to the CCF It is hard to put a value on an error such as this as they are one of a kind and you would be hard pressed to find a similar one. This looks like it could be a "mint sport "error where a mint employee has intentionally created an error coin. I can't see any other way this could happen but it still has value. Perhaps one of our error collectors could give you an idea of what they would pay for it. Thanks for showing it though, it is interesting. |

I agree with Jimmy.
to Explain: I have now idea how NCG analyze this coin? was suppose they to know that after the big reorganization of the Mints facilities in second half of 1964, 1965 and begin of the 1966, Denver Mint has two major separate places for striking. One was for clad coins and one was for the cooper (cents) and Nickel (5 cents). Different separate places which do not has any communications between, except if you do not get out, pass the big Passarella and admit in the other part of facility. Is no same tools use for those production.
This error is intentional error done or by an employee or by someone in the essay facility. IMO it is not a legitim Mint error.
i wrote on base of the Mint reports recoded on the US Congress by the Mint Director.
Hope help.
Me I doubt what NCG wrote. Can I see the Reverse of this coin please, I will able to discern on. No penny blanc can be on the halve production line without intentional creation of an error for speculative purposes.

@ Make cents: Yes an quarter blank mixt with dollar yes is possible because is the same side of the Mint production. but in this case is complete opposite.

to the CCF Might be man-made, but still pretty cool. Did you buy it or inherit? Tell us the story. |

Without an image of the reverse, it could be a mint error. The normal should look normal. These are rare to find. They can be made by a mint employee, but are still a mint error. A legit error if the reverse is normal. But check Heritage auctions to see what they have sold for in the past. https://coins.ha.com/us-coins/ You might have to sign up there to get information. But you can check current/past auctions to see what these have brought in the past. That would be a place to check for information as they sell slabs there. |

The story: In 1974 I worked in the coin and currency room of a local Regional Bank responsible for coin and currency shipments to and from the Fed. While wrapping bulk coin, I came across this half dollar and pulled it from the bin. I'm the only person who ever owned this and would like to put a value on it to see if I want to keep it or sell it. I'm attaching a picture of the reverse as was requested by someone. Thanks again for everyone's comments.  |

Sorry, I forgot.
I checked with Heritage Auctions and while they had none on record similar to mine, they estimated a sale value of between $500 and $2,500. That's a big spread so doesn't help much but I guess it depends on the buyer.

Very cool, thanks for the reverse pic that was asked for. You can see the weakness in the opposing area on the reverse, dead on. Good luck with whatever you decide.

If you want to sell it put it on ebay with a starting bid of $1500.00 and see if it goes anywhere. |

I see a little bend on the Reverse. If heritage say 500 to 2500 are mean they will expect more. They are conservative on the first price. If you worked at an regional bank, mean the coins never come direct from the mint. the regional banks are the last (forth) step for distributions and receive also circulated coins from the bank above theirs steps. Only 12 Bank receive direct from the Mint or from treasury Banks reserve.
I wish you the best of the best.
