Description

Obverse Die Cap 1976-D Clad Half
Brockage Reverse, MS66

1976-D 50C Clad Bicentennial Half--Obverse Die Cap--MS66 NGC. The story of this coin began when it was fed between the obverse die and a previously struck coin that covered the reverse die. This two-coin combo was struck, causing the present piece to cling to the obverse die. The brockage reverse then acted as a die to one or more newly fed planchets, which spread the image and lowered the relief of the incused and reversed portrait of Kennedy. Meanwhile, the obverse began to wrap around the lip of the obverse die, which created a broad, tall obverse rim and a dished appearance. Lustrous and smooth with sea-green and almond-gold toning.
