Minor surface anomaly
There's this spot in front of Kennedy's face that is reflecting light in a manner different to the rest of the surface (the closest match would be a proof coin). It doesn't seem to be damage. What could it be? I know it doesn't add any value, I just want to learn something ;)

Re: Minor surface anomaly
Looks like is got stuck in something mechanical and this area was damaged, commonly called a wheel mark and post mint. Has nothing to do with proof anything.

Re: Minor surface anomaly
Looks like some type of circulation damage. Your guess is as good as ours. It's worth more then 50¢, which is a good thing.
