numismo Rest in Peace United States 3039 Posts	Posted 08/04/2010 3:05 pm What years are known for no initial Kennedy halves? Are they true errors? Do they have any premium value? The first one I'm showing is a 1972 d. The other two are 1983 Ps. Are these what the no initial halves look like? Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/04/2010 3:12 pm They are part of the design that was not forgotten, but polished off the die. There is always a partial area showing. Just a over polished die. Comparable to the three legged buffalo and 1922 no D cents. What years? They can happen on any Kennedy coins that is the die is over polished to cover clash marks. I see no value for them, but others may. Report this Post to the Staff
chuckster 125 Pillar of the Community United States 4113 Posts	Posted 08/04/2010 4:32 pm numismo: No offense to coops take on these, but I do see value in the 1982P No Initials JFK. I don't know about all of the years, but I specifically check all 1982P Kennedy Halfs while I'm roll searching halfs. Here is one listed on E-Bay slabbed by PCGS MS66 * note PCGS has it listed as Filled Die. http://cgi.ebay.com/PCGS-MS66-1982-...em3a5100e8f3 Also, the 1982P NO FG also is constantly listed in Coin/ Coin Prices/ U.S Guide to US Coin Prices etc. MS65- $40.00. I've never seen any other years for JFK's without the FG listed. * Here are a few pics of a 1982P I just found last week roll searching. Check the base/foot of the number 1 in the date for a die marker confirmation* Report this Post to the Staff

Since it is just an over polished die it may show up on any die, or if it is the result of a filled die it may come and go as it fills, gets cleaned out and then fills again. I don't consider them to be an important error. Report this Post to the Staff

numismo Rest in Peace United States 3039 Posts	Posted 08/04/2010 6:39 pm Chuckster, I've got a normal base on the 1 on my coin. What's the shape of a digit on obverse got to do with any reverse die polishing? Report this Post to the Staff
