Hello everyone-
Inspired by mountainman's recent 90% half-dollar haul, I decided to give dimes a rest for one day and give halves a shot. I was off from work and asked the family to wait 5 minutes while I ducked into a local bank that is not in my regular travels. The teller said she had $250 in rolled halves, so I bought them. I was encouraged by the fact that none of the rolls were marked up with any obvious signs of searching. I was even more encouraged when I got home and started finding serious silver about halfway through.
Grand total: 10 90 %'s (all '64 JFK) and 59 40%'s (my best half find in almost a year)!
However, what really struck my curiosity was one of the halves that was missing part of its lower half (pic attached). Since I'm not an experienced numismatist, I thought I'd post it to see if this is anything to get excited about. I read something about "clipped planchets"....I don't know if this qualifies and would appreciate some opinions.
Take care and HH to you all!!

Fantastic haul there and yes, it looks like a clipped planchet to me!
