I agree.
Doubling of this magnitude would most certainly have been documented somewhere else and I'm betting that this only appears in the motto area and no where else on the coin.
The real key in identifying this, is the lack of serif separation. It is closely related to machine doubling and most often occurs when the dies have some miles on them coupled with a press thats in need of calibration. The other clue is the graininess in the field just below the motto. That graininess is most often seen on Kennedy Half Dollars from the 71-72 era and is a sure sign of a very worn die.
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.

It also doesn't look like it matches any of the listings on Coneca.
Wait and see what the Ike gurus say
