1988-S Proof Kennedy DDO ?

Harry779

Kennedyhalf.com has 1 88-S DDO listed but there is no pictures to match up.
Wondered what my expert friends think they see.Thanks for the look see.

I see strike doubling which can be quite deceptive on a proof since the coins are struck at least twice anyway. Sometimes more.
A slight amount of movement can create this type of "doubling" appearance.

In 2008, I encountered some Silver Proofs which I submitted to John Wexler who attributed the doubling as machine or strike doubling.

Hard to tell from the photos but it looks like it could be a DDO. Have you compared it to the listing in the CPG?

Harry779

the coin is in the mint holder so not easy to shoot.

i dont have the CP book.

Here's my example. The toning doesn't help but note the notching at the upper corners of RU in TRUST. There is also strong doubling on IBER and IN.
