1976-D 50C Clad Bicentennial Half Dollar -- Deep Die Cap and Brockage -- MS65 PCGS. The first strike for the present half dollar took place between the obverse die and the obverse of a previously struck coin (not included). The reverse of the coin exhibited a brockage of the obverse. The obverse stuck to the obverse die, while the previously struck coin was ejected. The present coin then became a surrogate obverse die for a series of newly fed planchets (not included), with each coined between the reverse die and the present coin. The additional strikes caused the present coin to wrap partly around the obverse die, creating a fairly steep cap. On the brockage reverse, the reversed and incused image of Kennedy expanded with each strike as it was flattened against incoming planchets. The obverse is attractively toned lilac-red, sea-green, and autumn-gold.
