1972 (D) Kennedy Half Dollar Detached Nose

to the CCF!

Soon in the next hour I will come with a clarification of this halve. This coin made me think of the 1966 FS-50- 103 from SMS set.

Took me more time to do, here it is the result.

1972D JJF has 4 Observe Varieties Designs. I will put here the most common: RDO-01 and RDO-02 (I will name for moment like this, is not yet official but me I say like this) The third is Scarce and the fourth is Rare. At this moment I do not have here in home office.

I see in this coin a funny mixt of variety and push me to see more of the second variety for this year on Phil dies. I do not contest the fact it is a late stage Die re-polish (the traces of re-polish could be see) but not a coin damage by the circulation or manipulation to much. I see also some doubling which is characteristic for those Dies done in Phil for all Mint places in 1972. History: Was use one Galvano for all Mints, but different Masters Dies. Some with high relief, some lower (D). The Master Die was reworked according with the assay report 4 to 6 times, so this result in 4 to 6 varieties. Second is that at one point they use three strikes for the Master Die Hub, which result in doubling.

Please compare the photos and come with comments. Any one is welcome, I will analyze all the points of view. (I like technical and not hypothetical written)

This is just a rescued die that had suffered Feeder Finger Damage. Almost removed the nose on this one. The middle image (RDO-01) Is the normal design. The lower image (RDO-02) is another FFD rescued die, that shows a lesser amount of die polishing. So the Feeder Finger Damage was less on that damaged die and was rescued also. RDO-002 is just an altered die post damage/rescued die. (Even the 'E' is showing that these two dies were over polished.
