A good example of mechanical/strike doubling . Shelf like with no split serif separation.
A good educational tool. Thanks for sharing.

Brian, I dont know if that is it or not. I have had people tell me it was machine doubling and NGC was not sure what it was because they had never seen anything like it before. It Reverses itself at the E in Liberty north of Kennedy's head. What it appears like to me is that the coin was struck twice with the second stiking being off... on the rim of the coin north of Kennedy's head you can see that there was two strikings. I thought that with the new minting technique that the coin was only suppose to be struck once.

It is a good example of what I mentioned above, but Dr.James Wiles of CONECA can confirm that . He is also the author of numerous volumes on Kennedy varieties. Go to their website for further instructions.

Thank You goose.

Definitely strike doubling. But I find those to always be cool to have, even if not a doubled die.
