1971 Kennedy light FG?

#1 Unread post by tkNorris98 »

I have a few 1971 Kennedy half dollars and they have a light FG, but this specific one the F is almost missing. Is this a special coin?
2 separate coins showing

Appreciate your help always

Additional pics.
Question. It's hard to take pics with my cell phone. What is the best way to take clear and doesn't move while taking a picture? Selfie Stick?

Picture taking. Lay phone on something higher than coin (stack of books etc.), have camera lens sticking over the edge.
focus on coin. Set timer to snap picture.
