This is another good site for Bust Half attribution.

I believe I saw somewhere that the Mint was doing some work on the dies to combat this chipping issue on the 2023 coins. A bit of a redesign or retooling with the mouth area. Guess we will see if it works out or not.

Maybe the bell has 90% of its steps showing.

I have no idea how I won this it was so cheap I started the bid with .56 cents with a max bid of three dollars because it looks like a unc coin with a bust not fully minted and I wanted it but had a feeling it would go up to about 4 maybe five dollars in six days but nope it went up to $2.84 and I won it and It looks better then my 1954 unc coins I got from rolls.  

I’m not 100% sure with the pics but, it looks possibly plated to me. Could be a legit proof though.

emphasis here was to get that weird 1984 but is it a melted coin or an error I would like to know so I can label it melted or error! 

I would say that dime has some heat damage. I’d go with the melted tag. 

Missing the detail right above the clock? Missing left window in tower?
