Kennedy guys (or anyone else) - a question on double die proofs

Is a coin like this one really a double die? It seems to me that the proof process would explain this type of minor doubling - your thoughts please.

Thanks

Frank

    It looks to be an EXTREMELY minor doubled die. No premium at all. These are extremely common.
  • It looks like a minor doubled die to me.

  • It doesn't make it worth much of a premium, if any. I just like the coin because it's a CAM, if not DCAM.

  • Not to POO POO anyones auction or to point the obvious but I think there is a bigger problem with this auction.
  • MAULUMALL,

    If you're referring to the AH, I'm having trouble seeing it, too. Could just be the picture, but I dunno.

  • In my opinion it is NOT an A/H.I have 2 in front of me now that agree.
  • I'm not very familiar with the AH variety, approximately how many were struck and was the variety on more than one obverse die?

  • I also saw that it wasn't an AH. The 1964 coins are still hard to find with cameo.

    I also don't think it's an AH. But it does have a nice cameo... Wonder what it will grade???
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    Here is a link to a Triple Die OBV. There is very little premium for these coins. By the way this was shot using a halogen bulb in my lamp, this is how graders see a coin. 1964 PF64

    Edited: The tripling is most pronounced on God and the E in We.
