arby96 Pillar of the Community United States 2111 Posts	Posted 04/28/2023 2:51 pm While searching half dollars today, I pulled this 1966 Kennedy half dollar Clamshell lamination error. This is the second one I have pulled over the years searching half dollars. My first was a 1968 Kennedy half dollar with same type error. "LOVE THE HUNT!" Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 96580 Posts	Posted 05/02/2023 11:38 am ...So tell us, what did you use to separate the clad from the core? a meat cleaver? Collecting since 1972.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/02/2023 1:49 pm Leave it intact. It is worth more as a clam shell than a missing cladding. What happens when the shell is removed? Removed makes it worth a lot less. Report this Post to the Staff
