I pulled open a box of coins this evening. I was going through it and came across my Kennedy Half Collection that I had sealed over twenty years ago in a FoodSaver bag. It was in a Dansco Album. I decided to open it up. HOLY COW! All of the Silver (40%) coins were blast white like the day I put them in the album, Most of the clad (MS and Proof) coins were rainbow toned. In the middle of the album this coin stood out as being exceptionally toned. I pulled it out and this is what I found. (FYI 1983 was a year that there were no mint sets issued by the mint.) The toning is breathtaking! I turned it over and put a loop to the coin...There is an anomaly on the rim around 'U S of A'. There are scattered spots of what appears to be struck through grease. Then there is what appears to be a thread or fiber struck through the 'F'. The last pic shows the toning. Thoughts or comments?

CONECA (pronounced: CŌ´NECA) is a national numismatic organization devoted to the education of error and variety coin collectors. CONECA focuses on many error and variety specialties, including doubled dies, Repunched mintmarks, multiple errors, clips, double strikes, off-metals and off-centers—just to name a few. In addition to its website, CONECA publishes an educational journal, The Errorscope, which is printed and mailed to members bimonthly. CONECA offers a lending library, examination, listing and attribution services; it holds annual meetings at major conventions (referred to as Errorama) around the country.
CONECA was formed through a merger of CONE and NECA in early 1983. To learn more about the fascinating HISTORY OF THE ERROR HOBBY and THE HISTORY OF CONECA, we encourage you to visit us our main site Here
