    spend it. there are no double dies for this year that I'm aware of. Have you got any books for referencing?

    Start investing in books. So much has been studied and written about every coin. There are many good ones and Cherry Pickers guide Vol 1 and 2 come to mind for errors across the spectrum.

    Instead of looking for new DDs you should be looking for documented DDs. More bang for the buck.

    Not a DD.... Please get the Cherry Pickers Guide and study online reference sites... You will soon be able to see what true doubled die coins look like and differentiate between those and the other phenomena that are seen on coins. Cheers, RickO

    You are seeing things.

    Please check out the CONECA site - it will save you a lot of time and critical comments on this forum.

    Here is a link, you will see there are no listed doubled dies for 1965. varietyvista.com/CONECA%20Master%20Listings.htm

    Lots of new collectors see things that experienced people know are just part of normal production -- kind of like 1964 SMS coins.

    PS: To the OP --- please use less compression in your JPG photos. Your images have a lot of compression artifacts that degrade your photos. ;)

    Just machine doubling.

    I think that @JBK isoffering good advice. "Instead of looking for new DDs you should be looking for documented DDs. More bang for the buck."

    Machine doubling possibly in tandem with die fatigue.
    Stressed/worn dies make lettering "bleed" into the rims.
