Description
1978 Kennedy Half Overstruck by a 1982 Panama Half Balboa
1982 Panama Half Balboa--Struck over a 1978 Kennedy Half Dollar 50C --MS66 NGC. Many details of the Kennedy Half Dollar host remain visible, including the complete outline of Kennedy's bust which is fortuitously aligned with the profile of world explorer Balboa. The peripheral legends on the reverse of the Half Dollar are also visible. The 1982 Half Balboa (KM-12b) had a mintage of 400,000 pieces and was struck at the U.S. Mint, as were most Panamanian coins through 1982. This assumedly unique error combination was presumably a product of mint employee mischief, although a visitor at the mint or a supplier of planchets could also be the culprit.(#6733) (Registry values: P1, N2)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 24UP, PCGS# 6733, Greysheet# 6919)
