Hello, I have come across 2 of these coins. It looks like the nose is separated from the head, completely. Also the E and the R in LIBERTY dont make contact with Kennedy's hair either. Just wondering if anyone might have seen this or know about this. Thank you.

good observation, excessive die polishing can result in things like that

The more the fields are reduced, the more the devices will be removed in strength on these devices. The bridge of the nose is telling me it was a rescued die from Feeder Finger Damage. Thus the stumpy leg on the 'R'. Just die events at their worst.
