Kennedy Error Question

[alexfm123]

Hi everyone.

I just had a quick kennedy half question. I have a 1984 that does not have the FG initials on the reverse. Is it worth anymore than 50 cents? I looked them up on ebay, but most(if not all, i havent checked in a while) were 1982. Is there a market for the coins? Also, do any of you know what may have caused this? I have heard of the coins missing either the "F", the "G", or both.

thanks,

Alex.

If you had a pic it would be good. Another thing to remember is there has to be no trace of the lettering at all. If it's just very faint it doesn't qualify.

I'll try and get a picture up in a little while. My camera doesnt work, so I would have to go to a friend of mine who has a scanner.

I believe this error is most associated with the 82P but other years have the error as well.

You can find more information on errors in a book called "Strike It Rich with pocket change"

The book lists the 82P,83P & 89P and places a value of $15 in uncirculated condition and $3.75 in EF. condition

I think a lot of the no FG's are Greased die errors due to the location of the initials. It has to be completely missing, no sign of the initials.

Ok, I took a second look at the coin, and there is just the faintest trace of the FG. I had to use a 10x magnifier and a flashlight to see it. It is literally, just barely there.

Keep looking! i have found a 1983 and the 1972d.

This is a site I like to use for errors and such

It says the 1982 and 83 had missing FGs work $3-$5
