westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7613 Posts	Posted 07/30/2023 01:15 am In the 2nd picture why is the red "R" on the left coin and the red "L" is on the right coin? Makes no sense at all to me but maybe I'm just stupid. Report this Post to the Staff

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 24977 Posts	Posted 07/30/2023 02:00 am After copying the picture and rotating in 90º, I don't see any major differences which would distinguish a '64 from a later '60s Kennedy half. The one you have labeled "R" does seem to have brighter reeding, so I'll say that is the 90% one.

westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7613 Posts	Posted 07/30/2023 03:15 am 1). Thanks for clearing up the "L" and "R" discrepancy and labeling the picture correctly. Glad I'm not as stupid as I thought I was. 2). I'll go with the "R" as the 90% coin just as a pure guess. Absolutely no basis as to why, either. 3). to The Community! Report this Post to the Staff
westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7613 Posts	Posted 07/30/2023 03:21 am Can you show us the reverse of the coins side-by-side as in your recently posted 3rd picture? Report this Post to the Staff
