Hi, I collect error coins and I came across an unusual kennedy half a few months ago. It is a 1970-s proof kennedy half with a peice of the back of his head missing. Alot of people said it had to be a fake so I thought I would have it graded. I was worried about spending $67 to have it graded by NGC or PCGS because they don't always grade certain coins and I didn't want to lose $67 and have nothing to show for it. Since I live in Denver & ICG has an office a few miles away from my house, I went to their office and showed them the coin. They told me they didn't think it would grade as a mint error because of the size of the error but every coin dealer I took it to could see it easily with the naked eye. The guy told me that it would cost $10 plus $2 to have it graded since there was no postage involved but then he said I'll waive the $2 and then he said I will only charge you $5 to grade it so I said ok. I went back the following week to pick up the coin and it came back as a pr-64 mint error struck through debris. Of course, I was delighted to have them grade it with an obvious mint error. The eerie thing about the coin is that when Kennedy was assasinated, there was damage to the back of his head. I have called, looked all over the web, Ebay and everywhere I could think of to find out more about this coin but to no avail. As far as I know, this is the only coin like this in existence. I sent it to Coin World & a guy named Eric took pictures and said he would run an article in their magazine in the upcoming weeks. Does anyone know anything about this kind of error or has anyone ever heard of the same kind of error? I would really appreciate any help with getting any info about this coin and what I can do to get it more exsposure. The picture shown is the coin before I had it graded as I am waiting for Coin World to send me the professional pictures that they took of my coin. Thank you, Tom
