Here is my recent find. I would appreciate it if anyone knows the correct name for this type of kennedy error coin.

Appears to be separation in the planchet.

I'm going to say post mint error. But I'll let some experts chime in.

This pic makes me say post mint.

Looks die failure with the rim breaking away and being struck while loose in the collar ... interesting find.

the extra flap on the obverse - is it loose? can you see a crack between it and the field? or is it solid attached?

are there any signs of machine doubling on the obverse or the reverse?

I am not sure I could come up with any mint caused possibility to explain this (yet)

Can't tell for sure from the pictures but it looks like something cut into the edge of the coin and shoved some of the metal over after it was struck.

It looks like the reading is smushed. Combine that with the flap over the surface of the coin--hard to judge from the photo, but it looks like it wasn't there when the die struck the coin--so I'd judge post strike damage.

The reeded edge continues all the way to the tip of the extra flap. There is a small gap between the surface of the coin & the flap. I would say it would be 1/2 mm gap between the surface & flap.

Damaged coin.
