Description

1973-S Kennedy Half, PR68 Cameo
Double Struck on a Struck Quarter
Double Denomination

1973-S 50C Kennedy Half Dollar -- Double Struck on a Quarter, Double Denomination -- PR68 Cameo NGC. A struck quarter was fed between proof half dollar dies and broadstruck twice. The collar likely deployed, but the quarter was fed nearly centered and did not expand widely enough to reach the collar die. The quarter design was effaced by the proof half dollar striking, but the complete edge reeding confirms the half dollar is on a struck quarter instead of a quarter planchet. The half dollar is out of round near 8 o'clock, where the diameter is widest. Most of LIBERTY is too distorted to read, but each date digit is apparent, and the mintmark is bold. On the reverse, UNITED and HALF show the greatest distortion from unrestrained outward metal flow. The portrait and eagle are well struck and frosty.
Ex: ANA Signature (Heritage, 8/2021), lot 4433.
