Sprucansailor Valued Member United States 188 Posts	Posted 05/26/2010 02:31 am We went and picked up some Half Dollar rolls today and I found these. One is a 2004, which I understand to be a proof by default, and the rest resemble it to my eye. Can y'all tell me if any of them are proofs? I found several more with very similar features. IF not, I will work on my photography skills. Thank you for any help! Edited by Sprucansailor 05/26/2010 02:41 am Report this Post to the Staff

Whytlash Valued Member United States 407 Posts	Posted 05/26/2010 06:05 am Nope, I don't see any proofs there. They all look like regular business strikes, the 2001 being the best looking of the bunch. Steve Report this Post to the Staff
Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 05/26/2010 07:20 am Proof coins for the Kennedy halves would have an S (San Fransisco)mint mark for the years represented in your photo's. Your coins all appear to be D (Denver) mint business stike coins. The 2004 was only available in mint sets and was not issued for circulation, but it is not a proof coin.
