Description
1980-P Kennedy Half, MS65
Double Denomination Error
On a 1979-P Anthony Dollar
1980-P 50C Kennedy Half -- Overstruck on a 1979-P Anthony Dollar
-- MS65 NGC. The consignor informs us that the present lot is
the only known Kennedy half dollar struck over an Anthony dollar.
Also unusual is that two different dates are involved. Most of the
eagle and Anthony portrait from the undertype survived the strike
between half dollar dies. Much of the Anthony dollar date is
readable on the clouds of the half dollar reverse. The half dollar
mintmark is bold and the half dollar date is partial, although
unquestionably 1980. The dollar mintmark appears near the eagle's
right wingtip. Our online auction archives, which date to 1993,
show only two other double denomination errors involving Sacagawea
dollars; a 1999-P dollar struck over a Georgia quarter and a 1979-P
dollar struck over a 1978 Jefferson nickel.
