1964 Doubled Die Kennedy Half

lathmach

I'm not familiar with the Kennedy series, but I haven't ever seen any like this .
Anyone here have an opinion?
The seller is a coin dealer. He asked me to list it here to see if it's genuine. He owns Allen's Coins and Collectibles in Pittsburgh, Pa. I've bought from him several times over Ebay with no problem.
He bought this from an old guy.

I believe only 1 has been graded by PCGS.

There's also a 1964-D Triple Die.

George just weighed the coin, it's 6dwt lighter than a regular coin. He's cancelling the auction.

There are quite a number of DD varieties for the 1964, but I've never seen one anywhere near that doubled. That is a monster. If Don is around, maybe he'll check the Kennedy book.

It doesn't look real. With doubling that pronounced there should also be the same doubling on the L. in Liberty.

There is a big DDO for the 1964-D (FS-013.4). I have the finest known one (NGC MS66) if anyone is interested in making an offer.

Somebody is playing games. There is no Kennedy 50c with anywhere NEAR this kind of spread. The 2 best are 1-O-V and 5-O-II (actually a tripled die.) Neither is particularly difficult to find except for 5-O-II in an early die state. Each is worth around $20 in MS63.
