In the bottom of the Kennedy´s neck, there is like an "R" or Omega shape. Is this a flaw? or has anyone seen this before?
If a flaw, what would be the $$$ value?

It's not an error. It's part of the design. They all have them. The designer's initials - Gilroy Roberts.

Nice observation and welcome to the forum!
Hey, when looking at the designer's initials, check for any doubling. Could be a variety coin?

@JoeN.... Welcome aboard.... Yes, designers initials... Suggest you get the Redbook, it will help tremendously when looking at coins. Cheers, RickO
No error just spending money
It's obviously a hammer and sickle snuck into the design by the Soviets. Recalled hearing that rumor long ago. Here is an article about it.

Yeah-I remember that rumor.
That is the JS on the Roosevelt dime. Clearly for Joseph Stalin.
