Nice little string of Kennedy half dollars we have going.

My dad and I threw a few bicentennial coins in his Coffee Can Coin Collection when they came out, and this is one of those coins. It is a little bent and from the marks on the reverse I'd say that someone had maybe tried to use it as a hammer or more likely the backstop for a punch before we got it. Even so, like many coins from the CCCC it brings back a lot of fond memories.

Oops- @ZoidMeister made a booboo- played an 1826 Bust half on an 1820 Bust quarter.
(The half would have worked if it was an 1820.)
Here’s a large sized Bust quarter like the type @pursuitofliberty posted.

I don't have photos of any of my US coins from 1825, so this farthing will have to do.

Here's a Bust half love token I haven't had the opportunity to image yet (my love tokens are yet another sideline that are awaiting further attention). So I'll quote the previous owner and use his images (thumbs and all). I swapped him an undamaged Bust half for this piece.
One of my purchases I got at a pawn shop here in Auburn, Maine a few years ago. The "reverse" is engraved with the name Hattie Maria Spolett. She was born here in Maine on Mar 25 1866. I bought this for less than 5 dollars in a lot I had. I don't think the guy who sold it knew anything about it.
It's on a cool host coin type, has an identified name on it, and also happens to have my own last name's initial. Had to have it.

Sorry, I seem to have killed it. Let me put a new date out there and see if it helps.
