Help On What Type of Error this 1972-D Kennedy Half is

RogerRamjet · February 9, 2009 7:49AM

I was searching through rolls of halves this past week (found 15 - 40% silvers in $300 worth) and I found this error. I have been trying to identify it but I cannot tell for sure what type of error it is. I have included these scans. The reeding is all around the coin except for a small ridge (you can see it in the Reverse scan at the top, in copper).

Any help would be appreciated.

It looks to me like a broadstruck half dollar (partial out of collar strilke).

Looks to be a misaligned obverse die.

I'll fourth it!

A broadstrike would not show the reeding.

Thank you everyone for your knowledge ... and Julie, I did not even notice the Doubled "Dollar".
