I have this 1964-p Kennedy. Do you think this is a tripled die obverse ?

    Looks like machine doubling to me.

    Recommend you do a google search on double dies and purchase a copy of Cherrypickers guide as you have over 400 posts and it seems you dont understand what a double die actually is :( . along with the various other forms like mentioned above.

    Yep, machine doubling.

    (This happens at night, in the near-darkness of a Mint when the machines are left alone. They sometimes get too much lubricant and get a little feisty, and hook up their conveyors and other stuff we cannot mention on a family message board. Well, the result is called "machine doubling" in polite numismatic circles. It can affect a lot of coins and there's no cure for them -----.)

    ;)

    Machine doubling... This is a confusing area for new collectors. No doubt, you see something, just not the issue you are searching for. Cheers, RickO

    PS: "Machine Doubling" is prohibited in Mississippi unless one is a lever and the other a wedge. There is no exception for "kinematic pairs."
