I found two Kennedy halves. One is a 1994 D and the other is a 1995 D. The pictures aren't the best but if you look between the numbers of the dates on both there are marks. On the 94 between each number there are altogether three 'punch marks'. On the indentations they aren't a perfect circle the right side is straight from 11 o'clock till 4 o'clock. Also not pictured is another punch on the back on the shield a tiny bit off center of the coin to the right. I think, sure someone could do that but they would have to have a machine as it is too percise, but if they did why bother?

The 95 is the opposite in a way it only has a round protrusion between the two 9's.

The '86 p dime has a wide rim.

Can anyone tell me if all three are errors or the halves are someone 'punching' and welding something to them? Thanks.

The halves are definitely post mint, the dime is a off center strike but not enough to bring any premium. I would still hang on to the dime. Nice Finds :thumbsup:

I agree.
 

Look at the back of the dime. If it is centered normally, then it is a misaligned die (very common, no real premium). If the reverse is off center just the same as the front, then it is an off center strike. I am guessing that it is probably a misaligned die, I have seen many like this.
