Lot Description: A 1971-D Kennedy Half Dollar collector coin housed in a protective 2x2 cardboard flip. The holder features a handwritten notation labeling this piece as a Rotated Die Error (noted on the flip as "1971 D Kennedy Error / Rotation Error").Rotated die errors occur when one of the minting dies shifts out of its proper alignment, causing the reverse design to be rotated relative to the obverse design.
  • Year: 1971
  • Mint Mark: D (Denver)
  • Denomination: Half Dollar ($0.50)
  • Composition: Copper-Nickel Clad
Please note: Error attributions and descriptions are handwritten by the previous collector and have not been certified or verified by a third-party grading service (such as PCGS or NGC). Bidders are highly encouraged to review all provided photographs closely to evaluate the degree of die rotation, coin condition, and surface quality prior to placing a bid.
