Sorry Julie43--they are Ds.
As common as dirt around my area and have a greysheet bid of $10.50 per roll.
1971 Kennedys have a greysheet bid of $21 per roll.
The huckster didn't reply today so I am sending them back.
I'll be happy to get my $110 back.
(I'll let everyone know what happens)
Another one of those $20 lessons; postage and insurance both ways.
Why did you not ask a question before pulling the trigger?
Hopefully you will have learned your lesson.

Technically, 1971 Kennedy half dollars from Philadelphia don't have mint marks, so "1971-P" would be a misnomer. The Mint didn't start putting the "P" mint mark on the Kennedy until 1980. 1971 [plain] logically implies "P", so I really don't think the buyer is to blame here. In fact if I were bidding on this, I would have every reason to make the exact same assumption as the OP.
I think the seller made a mistake in the listing by omitting the "-D", and therefore should make good on it by reimbursing the buyer's money AND postage. That's what I would do.
I received a refund for the coins and shipping/insurance one way.
Was offered a refund for shipping/insurance both ways but I declined.
(feel a tad responsible for not asking the question)
So all is right with the world, for the moment.
