Kennedy Half, weird mint mark, heavy doubling reverse

Is this coin rare? Is it a DDo and RPM? Any value over melt?

    Distinct doubling on "OF AMERICA" and "DOLLAR". Mint mark is extremely tall and from the edge almost looks layered, but could not get a photo of that.

    I dont see it on the obverse... unless the shadows are hiding the doubling.

    The mint mark looks interesting.

    The reverse looks close to the 1968-D TDO FS-101 variety.

    Need better images and light it from your right to highlight the potential doubling.

    Melt value would surpass any numismatic premium warranted.

    Machine doubling on the reverse. Need close up on the mint mark to be able to tell anything.

    That appears to be machine doubling... and I cannot see any issue with the MM in those pictures. Cheers, RickO

    I was sent this in a pm, recommend that he post it on the forum and responded with what you have stated. The only thing that I added was that the photo was really nicely done.

    Kennedys are my quest...

    It may be MD, but I think it's still cool. The one on the left sold for ~$60 on eBay. 68D, looks to me to be same MD. The eBay coin looks nicer, but there's not full obv/rev pic of the op's coin.

    Market = willing buyer + willing seller

    If we were all the same, the world would be an incredibly boring place.

    Normal obv; classic machine doubled rev.
