You ever see this one? The I is slightly doubled. The B is strongly doubled, no other doubling on coin

It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    Highly likely it is machine doubling and worth no premium.

    While there are MANY doubled dies for this coin, I've never seen or heard of one like yours.
  • the double B is the impression left in the plastic when you hit it with a hammer.......

    Thats one demerit for MadMarty right there.

    I am not sure I understand how a single letter can be machine doubled when the rest are not or only slightly so (as in the I). I like it though. I don't see anything in James Wiles Attribution guide for Kennedy Half dollars.

    Lanlord, I thought it might be a DMR-20.

    Marty, can I see better pictures?image

    Marty- Send it to ANACS

    ANACS DDO
  • Looks interesting Marty. What does the date look like? Since proofs are struck twice its probably just a error and not a DDO but I think it warrants more looking into. Jeez you have been cherry picking everything, Lincoln, Jeffs, now Halves.
