1971P Kennedy Half Dollar- Pitted Die?

[chuckster 125]

Found this 71P JFK roll searching.

Is this a pitted die or PMD?

Thanks for any help.

This appears to be what I would call a struck thru coin. Looks like some tiny bits of die droppings may have been stuck to the coin die.

It is not a pitted die. That anomaly shows as bumps on the coins surface and not indents. This is the link that best describes a rusted or pitted die.

Assuming that this is the hammer die that struck the obverse, it would be more than likely a foreign substance that was on or on top of the planchet and struck through.

Thanks for the help BJ!

Is this a Mint Error ( in your opinion) or just another PMD etc.

Thanks again,

Chuck.
