Twangator Valued Member United States 153 Posts	Posted 10/05/2009 2:10 pm Hello, found this 1976 JFK Half in a bank roll. Is this a proof. Proof like, a DMPL or something someone dipped? This coin has no mint mark so it is a Philadelphia coin. This is not a silver coin either. I would appreciate all of your comments. (Look at the reflection on the picture with the dice on it.)

Twangator Valued Member United States 153 Posts	Posted 10/05/2009 2:34 pm I just found a site that said that there were 4 proofs struck without a mint mark. Report this Post to the Staff
ratman4762 Pillar of the Community United States 2520 Posts	Posted 10/05/2009 3:05 pm What sight? I still think this coin looks more polished than proof. Although I must admit I've had a few half dollars catch my eye roll searching that looked proof and ended up not being Some were just incredible strikes and others were just polished.

Brannenworks Valued Member United States 106 Posts	Posted 10/06/2009 12:25 am It looks polished to me. Whoever buffed it did a good job in that it doesn't have directionality. And it didn't have a lot of wear before the polishing. Report this Post to the Staff
hippiebrian Valued Member United States 436 Posts	Posted 10/06/2009 10:47 am I agree, polished. There's no frost whatever on the devices. Report this Post to the Staff
