ODD HALF DOLLAR

[Jyorsky]

Was going through some of my half dollars and found this in the pile.
A 1983 Kennedy that somebody has either chromed or silver plated and also stamped with dates.
They actually hand stamped and did a pretty nice job.
Has anybody ever seen anybody go to this kind of trouble

Dates are left side 1960. Right side. 1980

I’ve seen lots of gold and silver plated half dollars when I was coin roll hunting. Not sure about the dates but it was probably some type of lucky coin given to someone on their birthday

I've yet to see one though I did find some gold plated quarters detecting

Interesting find, congrats!

Haha looks identical to one I dumped 3 yrs ago. Interesting. The chrome edge had me fooled for a second but the colors all wrong. In MD btw

Originally incredibly priced at just $5.99! Celebrating the 20th anniversary of JFK’s election to the presidency.

I have found a few of those and have them in my collection. I agree with Fistfulladirt. 20 year anniversary coin for Kennedy's Presidency.
