Good luck and if noone can disregard it from testing I'd send it off to ANACS as mentioned as here we can generally just give opinions and help save some money for some people that clearly don't have what they think they have. .

GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 04/21/2023 1:02 pm Just got back from Lansing. That X-ray machine is very cool' The coin checked out good &. Spot on for. 40% half.. The owner of the Lansing shop say it looks good, he has seen several come from Michigan. Now will have to send to NGC. That will take some time. Report this Post to the Staff

GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 04/21/2023 2:33 pm Thanks for the welcome back CelticKnot. From what I hear NGC is pretty slow grading coins like this. If so, it might me months before finding out how this coin will grade. One of my local dealers is going to the central states coin show next week. He think he can drop the coin off there. I will check into that more. Report this Post to the Staff
datadragon Pillar of the Community United States 1646 Posts	Posted 04/21/2023 2:40 pm NGC is a good option, the current estimated turnaround times are here depending on the tier you use. Varities and erorrs add 5 days approx it says. https://www.ngccoin.com/submit/services-fees/ngc/ Anacs can also certify that coin as mentioned and likely more quickly. Generally wont cause issue with value here since its an error coin which just requires certification in this case. Either way congrats on the find and post when you get it back.

GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 04/23/2023 11:01 am Machine20 and Jbuck .thanks for the reply. The interesting story of this coin, the man who found this coin was my next door neighbor, in Michigan, when I was young. He must have pulled it from circulation in the late 70's or early 80's. He had a small box of typical coins some people pull out and saved. Coins like wheat cents, SBA's and half dollars. In the 90's he retired and moved to Florida. In 2004 I move to Florida and found out he lived a few miles from my home there. When he passed away, I helped his daughter clean out his house. she took that box of coins to her home in Maryland. Recently She called me, she was looking through that box of coins and thought this one looked different. She called me, we talk about it and she sent it to me. Neither the father or daughter collect coins. Several local coin dealers and the XRF machine believe this is a wrong planchet 1977D Kennedy half dollar. Tomorrow I will take the coin to the dealer that will either send it to NGC or take it next weekend to central states coins show and drop it off there. Report this Post to the Staff
