    I saw a recent one sell in a PCGS 66 Holder for a little north of $110.00... is it worth getting slabbed or just better off selling it raw?

    There are at least 24 different 1966 Kennedy coins with a Doubled Profile so finding one will eventually happen if you look but finding the right one can prove to be difficult.

    Congrats on the find!
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.



    The name is LEE!

    Congrats on the find.

    I had good luck a few years back and while at a local B&M shop I found two 1966 SMS Sets that contained DDO halves. The kicker is that both DDO halves are Cameo with proof like fields and frosty white devices. They are two of my best cherrypicks ever.

    At that price it would have to be the FS 13.8 or whatever they are calling it today. VP-002 and FS-101 now I believe. The rest are considered minor DDO's. Yea, they are pretty pronounced but there are a lot of DD's for that year.

    I can't remember who it was here that helped me out on one. I sent a few to him, he verified one was the right one, sent it in and got a 67 out of it. Man was that cool!

    There are over 30 different doubled die obverses for this date. That would include regular business strikes as well as the SMS coins. Some of the business strikes show identical doubling to the SMS coins which would indicate that the SMS dies were consequently used for regular issue coins once they were no longer suitable for SMS production-just as with proofs-i.e. the wide AM cents and the Type B quarters among others.

    The profile doubling, which is somewhat common in and of itself without additional doubling on LIBERTY, the date, and/or the motto may be the result of a doubled working hub. The differentiation from die to die is determined by the doubling on the motto. The best of these is Die #19-the one you show SUMORADA. It's not only very strong but also quite scarce. Another nice die is #13, which is much more common but still nice and strong.

    I was just about to reply to this thread because I remembered who had helped me out!
    TwinCam is the master of the 66 DDO as far as I'm concerned. Anyhow, I forgot to check this last night and can't see the photos from work so I can't tell you if it's the right DD. Has anyone verified if this is the right one that is worth mula?
