US Coins Being Overstruck Into Tokens

rgpete · #1 02-26-2018, 06:14 PM

I purchased this coin when it was first available, a 1963 D Kennedy Half Dollar,
an overstrike on a 1964 Kennedy Half dollar, from an engraver who uses a surplus Denver Mint coin press

Kennedy half dollars weren't issued until 1964. Could you explain again how this is dated 1963.

By this Engraver who also designed a State Quarter that was minted for circulation

He also did this 2019 overstrike on a Presidential Dollar coin that I posted before

He sure does incredible work.

Agreed. And I'm not trying to be a buzz kill, but it is illegal to deface currency to the point its rendered useless.
