elliottite Valued Member United States 261 Posts	Posted 11/11/2022 12:51 pm Hello everyone. On a coin roll hunt, I pulled this black Kennedy half dollar. There appears to be no FG on the reverse and I'm not sure about the black. I tried soaking in acetone and it didn't seem to affect it. Hoping a expert will chime in. Report this Post to the Staff

Need better pictures of the FG area. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 11/11/2022 4:16 pm Environmental toning/tarnishing/discoloration. Most likely rubbed well with gun oil. Post mint damage. Report this Post to the Staff
