oscarhound New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 03/08/2025 5:24 pm Hi I have two Kennedy half dollars the Denver Mint one has filled in mint mark I think could anybody confirm this from the photos that I compared them to that's what it looks like to me. For the Philadelphia one it has some letters on the the reverse. It's hard to see but I think it's a j does anybody know what these are? I'm sorry for the photos I don't have a great microscope. Also are once with no edging worth any I couldn't find any Kennedy half dollars with no edging with the price too * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6452 Posts	Posted 03/08/2025 5:55 pm A filled D mint mark is very common, and is not worth any extra money. The working dies often suffered a broken post, resulting in a partly or completely filled D. In circulation, the face of the D wears down, and the hole doesn't go all the way through the height of the D, resulting in a filled appearance. The marks next to the tail feathers look like Reed Marks, made by the edge of another coin banging into this one. The letters FG are the designer's initials. Something wore the reeding off the second coin. It could have been stuck in a dryer, or perhaps it was a slot machine coin. Report this Post to the Staff
