I have a 1976 P Half Dollar I found in circulation and tonight as I was going through some mint sets still sealed up I found a 1978 D half dollar with almost an identical error in the same spot, just smaller. Anyways. This is for the 1976 half, I'm terrible at determining types of errors/varieties and my best guess at this is something to do with something on the die, like grease? I dubbed this the chicken leg error/variety as the first thing that came to my mind was a chicken thigh/leg. Just looking for clarification and more info. Thank you. And to be specific, this is a cavity rather than a raised surface etc. Report this Post to the Staff

As you said, something was stuck to the obverse die when the coin was struck leaving this incuse area. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!! Report this Post to the Staff
