1964 50C Kennedy Half Dollar -- Double Struck, First Strike Broadstruck, Second Strike Off-Center with Brockaged and Indented Reverse -- MS65 NGC. The first strike for this first year Kennedy half dollar occurred between the obverse die and a previously struck half dollar (not included). The collar die was impeded, probably by the previously struck half, so the coin's diameter expanded without restraint during the strike. The reverse exhibits a faint incused, expanded, and reversed image of the reverse, with IN GOD WE TRUST fairly clear and portions of all four date digits present. The coin failed to fully eject after its first strike, and was struck a second time about 40% off center toward 7 o'clock, at 7 o'clock relative to the first strike. The second strike took place between the obverse die and a newly fed planchet, which blocked the reverse die during that strike. Toned olive-gray throughout. A partial flan split occurred during the second strike; the split reaches Kennedy's nose from the first strike.
