Here is a 1965 Kennedy with some of the most dramatic strike doubling I've ever seen. You have to look hard in the pic, but you can see doubling on the olive branch and the tips of the wing feathers. The tips of the tail feathers, which of course aren't shown, are also doubled.

    That's pretty good - here's a pic of an Olympic 84D dollar I used to own - now I can understand these dollars because they are double struck - but I guess I'm too obtuse to understand how a single strike can result in doubling - UGH!

    It's nice to see a thread on strike doubling. A true unappreciated and undervalued yet interesting mint product held in low regard as damaged junk by collectors.
    Here's one of my 97-P 25¢. Look @ George's nose, neck, & forehead; much more dramatic than the so called doubled ear 97 Lincoln (& other hub varieties) for example, that collectors pay a nice prem for:

    Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.
