2024 (D) Kennedy Half Dollar - STT 001

Description

Cataloged as the first strike-through variety attributed to the 2024-D Kennedy half dollar, the STT 001 documents an instance where foreign material became trapped between the die and the planchet during the striking process. Strike-through errors occur when debris, grease, wire fragments, or other contaminants on the die face or planchet surface prevent full metal flow into the die cavity, leaving an impression or void on the finished coin. The Denver Mint's 2024 Kennedy half dollar continues the clad composition series that has been produced since 1971, maintaining John Gilroy Roberts Jr.'s iconic portrait of President Kennedy on the obverse. This specimen has been certified by PCGS under certificate number 56991466. As the first cataloged strike-through for this date and mintmark combination, the STT 001 designation establishes the baseline for future strike-through attributions on 2024-D Kennedy halves, making it of particular interest to error coin specialists tracking the expanding catalog of modern half dollar varieties.
