Could this also be a struck thru?  If we had better pictures we could tell.

Also please show both sides of the coin, this can be important.

Did you write this? 

"Yours is damage also. It doesn't really matter exactly how it happened, the fact that it could not have happened during the striking of coin defaults ... "

Have u found any more info on this i have one exactly like that with the top of the wheel missing and the rim is super thick with no ridges if u could shed some light that would be amazing 

Can we see a better picture?  A much better picture, please.

You learn better by doing your own research.  If you hit a brick wall, fine ask your question.  The questions I have, I know have already been asked somewhere before. I can almost find all the answers to my questions here, just by searching the threads.  I also have no problem sharing what little knowledge or experience I have.

You also know, that there are a lot of "lazy" people out there that come here and expect you (us) to do the work for them!

I do not see any evidence of a doubled eye, looks to be a normal coin with lots of die chips from poor quality control.

I'm in the die chips column also.

Edit.

@tj96are those pics in sunlight, which can really mess with appearances? Also, I have heard the 40% silver clad coins referred to as "40% silver" and many just use "silver clad".

I mostly roll hunt quarters, but sometines half dollars too. Haven't really found anything valuable yet. I have these rubber like sorting mats with the more valuable dates, varieties and errors printed on them. Maybe one of these days. 😉

Yes, I took the pictures in sunlight.  Yes, different light and angle of view can mess with the appearance.  For me, the term "silver clad" is to confusing.  It's either silver or it's clad.  The guys I communicate with know the term "40%'er" means 65 to 70 Kennedy halves.  90%'ers are all dimes, quarters, halves & dollars minted 1964 and earlier.  

I roll hunted quarters in 2019, 2020 & 2021 during the W craze!

I know, I've been searching halves for many years, not just silver but errors.  You are obviously searching the right way by looking at the dates and all three sides of the coins...  Many novice CRH'ers are not.  They are just looking at the edge of the coins.  

I'm not saying they look exactly like a modern copper nickel junk clad half.  I said it's not a well defined band, like the one you posted above "but" the line is there.  An untrained eye might confuse it for a junk clad half.

Also, I don't call 65-70 Kennedy halves "Silver Clad", I call them 40%'ers.  Maybe that's where some of the confusion is.

These are all 40%'ers I've found in circulation.  All I'm saying is that in the light, you can see some copper on these edges and could be mistaken for junk clad by an untrained eye.

It's clad.  Worth 50¢  He's a spender.

Yep. 80/20 silver/ copper outer layer bonded to  a core of .209 silver/ .791 copper.  Works out to 40% silver/60% copper. If you look at the edge of a half minted from '65 - '70, you can see the slightly darker colored core.

I know.  You said: "The silver clad halves "did not" have a copper colored band around the edge."  It's not a well defined band, but the copper color is there. You have to really look for it.  Many 40%'ers have slipped thru the fingers of CRH'ers over the years.   If CRH'ers are just looking at the edges of halves, (and not knowing what they are looking at), they will miss it for sure.  Many nice 40% edges look like modern clad junk! They better be looking at the dates when doing their searching.

Just year and series.

Okay, thanks!

The silver clad halves did not have a copper colored band around the edge. If your coin has that band, it is copper nickel clad. End of story.

What's silver clad?  Never heard of that.  A 40%'er??

Well okay!

I don't think playing a Kennedy off a Seated Liberty was an option.

It's a half dollar.  I thought it was also denomination.

Does that mean we can change the category to errors?

Half dollar error.

Hi TJ, I'm looking at my red book right now. Hmmm 

90% silver would be about 12.5 grams
