I came across 1971 US half dollar that looks almost like dash between the F and D of half dollar. It also has a blotch between the D & O. Is this considered an error? I am having trouble getting a clear picture but I will post one when I get it. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/20/2023 11:09 am If incuse, it would be damage. If raised, it could be a die gouge. Note the heavy die scratches on that area. They may have been working with the die and overlooked that area? Report this Post to the Staff
