Kennedy DDO specialist - Question

Windycity

I am looking at the Coneca site for Kennedy Doubled Dies and have attributed my 1964-D coin as a DDO #1 matching the description 1-O-V-CCW from K-12; FS-50-1964D-101 (13.4). Looking at the PCGS population report I do not see this coin listed but do see DDO#3 (13.5) listed. Given how dramatic the doubling is and the Coneca listing I would expect to see the coin in the PCGS population report. Am I missing something or has PCGS decided not to list this particular coin?

Hi,

I'm no specialist but you can lookup PCGS coin number in the pop reports (146011) and it will give you the population of the variety.

Looking at the Population Reports for 1964-D, the other varieties not listed that PCGS attributes and requires in the sets are besides the FS-101 (DDO-001):

1964-D FS-105 (DDO-005) PCGS No, 145363

1964-D FS-501 (RPM-001) PCGS No. 146076

1964-D FS-502 (RPM-002) PCGS No. 146077

Hope this helps

I did the search under the 146011 number and it shows 34 coins... listed as FS101 - FS- 013.4. Which is the listing I would expect to see in the population report page. My confusion is when going to the population report page, it list a TDO and then FS - 013.5 and others... no mention of FS-013.4. Any idea why this might be the case? or am I reading the population report list incorrectly?

The only explaination I can think of is whomever is reponsible for keeping the records of the Population Report up to date has been slacking in thier duties

The 1964-D Kennedy lists more than most other coins... it would probably be a nightmare if PCGS tried to list every variety on their online population report. At least they offer the option to "Lookup by PCGS No:" When I seach 146011, I see 41 coins graded - 55(3), 58(1), 62(3), 63(9), 64(18), 65(5), 66(1) and 67(1) on the Pop Report... however, when I view the coin in CoinFacts, there are only 34 listed; it's a little misleading since it doesn't list the coins in 55, 58 and 62? Could you imagine listing all the varieties, errors, etc. on the Pop Report?

The Triple Die Obverse Kennedy listed in the Pops was recognized "before" Volume 2 of the CPG was released and simply has no FS number associated with it. It's is more than likely DDO-005 (Old FS# 013.6) and as such can reside in dual slabs.

1. Tripled Die Obverse
2. FS-101

This is the same scenario as the Kennedy Accented Hair Proof where the same coin can reside in two different slabs.

1. Accented Hair
2. FS-401 Accented Hair

or any number of other dual slab coins such as the 74-D DDO Kennedy, 72 DDO Lincoln, 55 DDO Lincoln, etc.

Before 2006, PCGS would only recognize and slab certain "accepted" and respected varieties within the coin collecting community. Those coins have PCGS coin numbers assigned to them. When Volume 2 of the CPG was released, PCGS began attributing the varieties in that book and assigned new coin numbers to the varieties listed.
