I dismissed this 1973-D Kennedy as MD... Sure looks a heck of a lot like 1974-D DDR-001

Just put it in a flip and took a 2nd look on VarietyVista to notice it sure looks a lot like the 1974-D DDR001 - http://www.varietyvista.com/12 Kennedy Halves/DDR Detail Pages/1974DDDR001.htm

There isn't one listed for this 1973 D

From Variety Vista...
the 1974-D DDR001

    Your coin is only showing machine doubling. The coin screen shot from Variety Vista is both machine doubling and a DDR.

    The Stage B pictured in the Variety Vista ebook is much more indicative of the variety, as the machine doubling is gone (the reverse die is tightened.) It's classified as a Class II + VI, and it's a very minor doubled die.

    I'm going to throw a couple of words out, that I. and a few others, have been using pretty much lately. "Wishful Thinking". Lol. I've been doing a lot of that recently. :D

    I always temper the wishful thinking :smiley: It only takes about 4 decades lol.
    In this case it was taking a final look at it a couple hours past my bed time :blush::wink:
