1964-D Kennedy errors
Hi everyone, I believe I have a unique 64 Kennedy with a DDR along with DD mint mark. I’ll be Submitting for grading this week. Asking for a 2nd opinions in case I am wrong. As I am a newbie to the numismatic.

As I am a newbie to the numismatic.If you drag and drop your photos they'll show in the forum instead of making people download all of the pictures. You'll probably get a better response if you do that.

Thank you, Proof Collections! I’ll do that.

I do not see any real doubling, just mechanical. I suggest NOT submitting that coin at all, for around the same cost as grading and attribution you could buy one that is a true doubled die already in a holder with attribution.

Much better!! Thanks again.

Not an error. Mechanical or strike doubling. Not worth the cost of grading.
Interesting to see but it is not a DIE DOUBLING example.

With experience you'll eventually be able to recognize MD (mechanical, or machine, doubling) from it's appearance. But in any case, if it was a real DDR there should be known examples you can compare to on the various sites dedicated to DDs, and the match must be exact.
As for the mintmark, from that era it would not be a DD in any case, but rather a RPM (re-punched mintmark). Of course, it could also just be MD.

I've posted this image many times. I did not produce the image, but it is quite valuable. Look at it and make certain you understand it and you will realize you should not submit your JFK for certification.

Have to agree that it looks like mechanical doubling and not a doubled die. And... not a D/D..... the doubling on the mintmark is also due to the mechanical doubling.

But that's how one learns. We all have that learning curve.

Does that extra die above the U mean anything?

Huh?

That is some kind of strike mark. A die could have made it or a car key could have made it, but it is not a die. When you press a pattern into Play-doh, the thing that makes the pattern is kinda like a die.

the round steel objects are dies used to strike the design into the planchet to make the coin
there are giant X in them because the mint "cancelled them" so they can't be reused

Sorry, your coin is not a doubled die. With that being said, doubled dies are pretty common on the 1964 P and D half dollars. I have cherried dozens of them. Just keep looking.

There are a few DDOs for 1964-Ds Kennedy half dollars. Many are considered 'minor varieties'
