A Spectacular and Unique Kennedy Half Dollar Major Mint Error
Robert Risi, a collector and reader of Mint Error News wanted to share one of his rare Kennedy Half Dollar major mint errors. It is a spectacular and unique major mint error.
This 1974-D Kennedy Half was brockaged by a Kennedy Half that was struck on a Cent planchet. Although there are Kennedy Half Dollars known that were indented by smaller planchets, this unique Kennedy Half was brockaged by a Kennedy Half that was struck on a Lincoln Cent. It is a unique combination of major mint errors and is a dramatic and amazing addition to his collection.
