1972-D Kennedy Half DDO

So I hit one of my banks this morning. I was standing in line. There was a guy turning in $250 worth of rolled halves at one of the teller windows in front of me. I was of course watching and listening. A teller window came available and I was standing next to this guy. I asked my teller if I could have the rolls of half dollar, this guy just turned in. He overheard my conversation and turned to look at me. (I think CRH'ers can pick each other out a mile away)
He grinned and smiled. He said; you're not going to find anything in there. I said; what do you meant? He said; there's no silver in those rolls! I grinned and smiled back. I said; okay, thanks. My teller asked me if I still wanted them. I said; yes ma'am I do.
The moral of the story. There are coin roll hunters and them there are coin roll hunters!
Pictures to follow shortly.

Sorry for the delay. Lighting and focus was a problem. It's a cheap digital camera.

Looks like it.

Good eye!! Definitely a doubled die.
Thanks gents!
One thing is odd. I check several times. Unless I'm missing it or looking in the wrong place (and I probably am), I don't see one of these listed in PCGS, NGC or ANACS. I do see where variety vista has attributed them. I need a reality check.

For many series, PCGS only attributes varieties that are listed in the Cherrypicker's Guide, and the 1972-D DDO is not listed in the current CPG.
NGC often attributes varieties that are not in CPG, but this particular one is not on their list.
I believe ANACS will attribute any variety listed on VarietyVista. The 1972-D DDO is not currently listed on their population report, but that may just be because no one has sent any in for attribution.
Thanks @IkesT, appreciate that. So if I submitted it to NGC or PCGS, they would or wouldn't attribute it?

If you paid PCGS for their variety service, they would label it as a "minor variety " with the designation of "doubled die obverse", but would not name the specific variety number. Off hand, I don't know what NGC would do, but perhaps someone who does know will chime in.
Nice catch.... An easy one for most to overlook.... Thanks for the great pictures. Cheers, RickO
Very nice and great eye!
Pretty cool find. Seems to be a very minor variety though.

If this is not listed in NGC's variety plus section they will not attribute it or put any info on the label. ANACS is the best bet for this type of thing.

Thank you gents!

So I'm thinking, this guy could be on his way to the ANACS top pop column.

The best 1972-D Kennedy half dollar (CONECA) DDO-001 that we have been able to find only grade MS64 at PCGS

Kennedys are my quest...
Congrats 👏
That is a winner!
I too, have sort of the same situation in a Jeff nickel, though.
I sent my coin in to PCGS, hoping to have the key dd. A proof 1956dd, only to come back as the "minor" one instead. No number, just the title, minor variety.
I'll post later.

--- If it should happen I die and leave this world and you want to remember me. Please only remember my opening Sig Line.This coin is not a DDO.
There are no 72-D DDO's listed in the PCGS pop report.

If it appeared in mint sets MS-65 would be "common" and MS-66 would probably be pop top.
Half dollars are perhaps the most common clad rolls from the '70's but they are still quite difficult to find and quality is typically poor. It's a wonder any varieties are found in BU that don't appear in mint sets much less high grades.
It shows the split serifs plainly. That's a good thing.

Again, this cert number is not a DDO.

I'm wondering if the new CPG edition will be listing this 72-D DDO with an FS number? Or if there's a way to find out before the book hits the streets?

You'd have to ask Bill Fivaz.
Wexler show 2 varieties. This coin it is as the WDDO-001, less accentuate but interesting on the E in WE. I have a clear one in 65 ANACS, but personally I think are much more variants from this. For me it is very surprising that this denomination it is almost ignored. And they are many, many DDO's or DDR's.

What's a clear one?

yep
The 1972-D DDO show in function of the Die stage different levels. A clear one mean we have all the characteristics of this DDO. This coin here it is the DDO with other Die stage I have and studied with Wex. Larry can say more about but I do not know if it is here. Mentor Bill also.
what I say: it is that those coins has many, many DDO's and DDR's uncatalogued. This it is the word of the varieties.
