Can anyone help me with the 67-P Kennedy DDO? Trying to confirm it’s variety.

    I also found his one today. This is a different 67-p.

    First coin: Looks like split serifs to me. but the doubling is very minor.

    Second coin: The doubling on the inside of the ear looks like MDD to me.

    First is definitely a DDO. Not sure if it is FS-101 though.

    I see doubling on the first coin... Check the CPG....or one of the resident experts will chime in with an identification. I do have one in a long neglected Kennedy set.... will have to check it out...been packed away since 2008. Cheers, RickO

    Coneca lists 17 DDO's for the date. I don't recognize this one but it looks significant to me.

    By the way this coin is either a '67- (D) or a '67- (S) since Philly struck no half dollars in 1967.

    Cladking must have been thinking of 1968 having no phillys

    I’ll check those ddos and compare them to mine but I have this question. So let’s say mine doesn’t match any of the varieties listed... Am I correct that PCGS won’t list this as a new doubled die obverse because I only have one and not 5 examples? Even if it’s clearly a ddo and a new variety? Would they just give it a regular grade and not have doubled die obverse printed on the holder?
