Har ya go:

Error ? Die Variety ?? Lathe Lines ?? 1990 P Kennedy Half Dollar ... Roll Searching Find

Ok I see, I would take a 16xor greater loop to it and see if they went trough, up to, over the devices with the presumption being pmd till proven other wise. Looks like mechanical damage to me, like counting or vending type. Feel free to bring it by the LSCC seated display and I will provide an unqualified opinion for little to no cost.

MsMorrisine

ok, thanks

don't see FW on the list. I assume he's grading, or just not there.

I haven't done the Baltimore show in about 4 years;
I won't be there for this months' show.....

Your Kennedy half does look like it has what's called
lathe lines from the dies; we have to assume that
all coins struck from those dies will have them; it could
be thousands of coins, or tens of thousands, depending
on die life, and if anyone caught it before they just
changed the dies for other reasons.

Interesting, but I haven't seen much interest in this
type of item in the past........

Hope this helps a little bit....

I have a few gem 1996 D Lincolns with lathe lines. There is a small following on these.

MsMorrisine

oh, it helps greatly, thanks.

(that makes it the only variety/error I've found to date while roll searching Kennedys.... not even a 74 DD, much less a DD of any other year.)

I think they are underappreciated because they aren't as dramatic as some DD (and some DD get VAM and FS numbers, etc) or MAD or a clip, and I wonder haw many are aware of this type of errors. How many coin types and years of those type have been found with lathe lines? How about DD, MAD or clips? Are there more DD type coins and many different years of those type out there over those with lathe lines?

I also have a 1990-D Kennedy with these lathe lines:

mine's a P, but I'd love to find a D and make it a set of twins.

I picked one of those out of circulation. Still have it. It's neat, but no one seems much interested in it.

Well, dang.

I'll have to look again since it wouldn't be the first time I honked up the MM's.


Yep.

It's a D.
