Question For The Error/Variety Experts Here Regarding A Kennedy

I went through half a bag of 2000P's mostly for grins, but also to substantiate that I have no life. That havng been said, I came across 19 of these halves each struck with what appears to have been something adhering to the obverse die causing an indentation behind Kennedy's head and neck effecting a large area of the coin's surface.

OK, what do I have?

I apologize for the pic, but you get the basic idea.

    Looks like an eagle's wing inverted. Maybe the result of a light clash.

    Not judging by the first two responses. I'm already calling the Ferrari dealership and cancelling the order image

    Hmmmm. just checked the reverse, and sure enough, there's a similar surface disturbance along the right wing of the eagle

  • Struck thru grease. Pretty common, sorry.

    Appears to be a shadow cast by the sun on the person's head that possed for that coin. Or possibly a hair peice that was removed. Ghost??????
