for quarters! same size as a normal half dollar but the exact thickness of
a quarter! even more amazing is that it has a reeded edge!! I had a theory
about this particular coin is that back in 1999..you had the first major change
in quarters..the state quarter program,and in turn a LOT of things were
happening at the mint to get these new design coins out there..henceforth
many thousands of quarter sheets were being readied for production and
somehow a sheet got to a kennedy half dollar die and got produced! I even
came to another conclusion that somehow this could be a test piece! it has
a reeded edge..so maybe they were testing a cost-cutting measure to
make thinner kennedy halves by utilizing the quarter sheet for exactly that
goal! to save on budgetary concerns!

I can’t send it in until late Oct. I am not good on errors. Also remarkable is how the reverse looks like a strong cameo, with a section of the inner wing (left side) with a mirror like appearance. The strike looks a bit off center. The appearance of the breast looks too heavy, almost caked, strong strike but the features are not well defined – hard to describe. The obv looks like a pr 67. The reverse’s appearance makes it too difficult to grade. Rim letters are not proportional. this may suggest a DDR as well. I never thought to use a 10x magnify
to look at it.

If there are rumors of a major error …. perhaps …. this may be a superior example; until U see the coin …. before drawing any conclusions. I have a so-so, not too good . I can try a photo; if so, do u have a preferred email? Thanks Ed
