Description
Gem 1964 Kennedy Half Mated Pair
Obverse and Reverse Die Cap
1964 50C Kennedy Half--Mated Pair Obverse and Reverse Die
Cap--MS65 PCGS. Type Two Reverse. Two planchets were fed
between the dies instead of the usual one. This piedfort pair
caused metal to wrap around the edge of both dies, especially the
obverse. The obverse-side coin has a consistent 'bottle cap' rim,
several mm in height. The reverse-side coin has a partial raised
rim that reaches a height of a couple of mm near 1 o'clock. The
force of the strike (and metal movement to the edge) was sufficient
to impart a faint incused impression of Kennedy's portrait through
the obverse-side coin into the otherwise blank 'obverse' of the
reverse-side coin.
