armandog07 Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 Recently purchased a lot of Proof sets finding a 1973 coin showing an irregularly open R in the word TRUST. A second Kennedy Half dollar dated 2004 having the " E PLURIBUS UNUM" motto extremely faded Both coins are sealed Proof sets from the San Francisco mint Comments/opinions appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 Hey! Welcome to Coinpeople! I'm no expert, but the first looks like it could be a partially filled die (but that would be very surprising on a proof strike!). The second looks like an older die where the details are fading. Again, that shouldn't be as much of an issue on a proof coin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armandog07 Posted March 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 Many thanks for your comments. I am just a beginner on coin collecting. It was also surprising to find it in a Proof set. Anyway, I have taken other photos in color-one attached. I have other Proof sets and in all of them, the "R" is fully closed, but not in the coin shown in the photos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corina Posted March 19, 2019 Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 could be a grease filled error also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
