1970-s proof kennedy question on a possible discovery

lasvegasteddy

so my 1970-s freshly graded with a truview
gotta love truviews as one can explore a coin really close on a big monitor
so looking at mine...i noticed what looks like a recut ray on the reverse

"might want to check yours if you have an example"

has this been previously discovered?
how would i process this if it warrants processing ?
how would such affect value...guesses of course?

truview..which made it on coinfacts...just fell in love with the color on this one's fields


my adjustment as truview is a lil dark to me


i'd think this is too convenient to merely be a die chip looking at it

looks like a die chip rather then tooling marks.

I have to admit great colors though.

but would a die chip be frosted?
position to me is too exact...PERFECT ALIGNMENT AND POSITION
almost like there was a problem with a die that was corrected then frosted before fields were polished again

This is a "Struck Through" error. Not a significant premium, in my opinion, but certainly more than had it been on an uncirculated piece. Nice find.

sounds about right...THANKS
no need to get excited then or process this through coneca or anything
maybe add a lil note to the holder

a lil strange too in how just that one star and surrounding area was refrosted

Pretty coin. I would have said die chip at first glance, but I agree with Rampage.

Agreed. The area in question is depressed rather than raised. Look at the way that the light falls on the ray to the right or to the left of the feature in question. You know that they are raised, so the lighted side of either ray is where your light source is. Now look at the area in question. The lighted side is on the other side of the feature, so you know that that is a hole the light is falling into. The side closest to the light source is in shadow.
