Does anyone know if this 1964 Kennedy has the dripping 4? 1 1

Have a chance to buy it reasonable

I would only pay the value of the silver. Dripping 4?

If a reasonable price is spot, then go for it.

I have never heard of a “dripping 4”, a dangling 4, yes.

A dangling 4 is a tiny teardrop of metal (aka die chip) that drops below the 4 in the date numeral. What I see in your photo is something on the side of the 4. I don't know if this dangling 4 is even an attributed variety as I cannot find it listed anywhere.

Where did you hear/get the term "dripping 4"??

[powermad5000]

I heard of it a few years ago and kind of forgot about it because it is an infrequently used one. It's another one that makes my eyes roll into the back of my head like the Lincoln cracked skull or drooling George. Although I love the Morgan dollars, I have to blame them for the VAM for Spitting Eagle that caused everybody to come up with cutesy nicknames for die chips.

Not sure when Bill saw it.

Sales hype term. Much like "Zerbe Proof" or "First 1794 dollar struck by elves in the woods."

Those were Keebler cookie bakers.

Thanks everyone. I have avoided this coin because of your great comments and have stricken that term from my memory! what term?

Dripping 4?

It sounds like the sort of variety that would be purchased by a collector named Ben Dover.

If you have the dripping 4 you better get to a clinic ASAP!
