D. Proof 1979 S Type 1 JFK Half Dollar still encased in original set from the SF Mint. However, this coin has a strike through metal shaving error on JFK's cheek. It is clearly visible with a loupe, the third picture with arrow was using 500X magnification with a coin microscope.

I don't credit value to any error you can't see well at arm's length. 500X... can you imagine how many unique features there would be on any coin with this level of detail?
