Dug out all the old tubes of Kennedy's I had tucked away in the safety
box with the idea it might be time to sell some of the 40% stuff.
One of the other coins I kept is a 1973 with what appears to be a crack
or metal blemish in the clad surface that might reach the copper layer.
There is a nice toned area right around the wound.
I stuck it on a scanner and tried to get a nice close up.
Are there optimal setting for scanning that might bring detail out better?
Is something of this sort a recognized error type? is there a term for it?
It had been so long that I went thru those particular tubes that I
forgot about some of the other 'error' 50c pieces I had hung onto.
Since I only pulled them from circulation I didn't have too many.
The Strangest one I ever got out of circulation, a franklin $.50 that
was well on its way to being a prison ring until it developed a crack in
the reworked rim before it got down to the size intended, so it also
wasn't hollowed out yet to end up a ring. How that ever managed to be
loose until I got it I'll never know.
