Kennedy Half Question

Hey everyone, I came across this on Ebay. Bi Cent Kenndy Half. Does it appear to have doubling on IGWT? It's not listed as such. Thanks for the help!

And the D? Looks like Machine doubling, but nice find -

 

Thanks!

 

Ain't seein' it Andrew. Looks like the MM might have been re-punched though. Love the avatar.........

 

I see something with the N and the U

 

Maybe I'm looking at the wrong coin, but I sure see split serifs on the "IN".

Clear as day... but is it present on the coin, or just an anomaly caused by lighting? The shape and overall look, to me at least, suggest it's likely the latter.

 

I'm with Books and Chris, split serifs seem present, but that's a tough gamble. Lighting can do tricks on a coin photo, and this coin seems to be slabbed, so you could have reflections from the slab.

 

DDO

yes

 

The U in Trust makes me think it's not lighting tricks.

 

This. The D mint mark. That's the giveaway. Methinks, too...

 

I think the split serif might be clever lighting... I'm not 100% sure though. I took a gamble and bid on it so I'll let everyone know when it arrives.

 

Images aren't good enough to be sure but the IN does look good.

 

That's hilarious. I wasn't interested in the Half or anything! LOL! I'm kidding. Please let me know what you find out

 

I will post my findings in this thread. I'm impatiently waiting for it to arrive.

 

Looks promising!

 

The coin arrived today. There's definitely no split serif, it was just funny lighting as predicted @BooksB4Coins . The U and S in TRUST look a little funny but everything else appears normal. I'll look at it more tomorrow or Saturday.

 

Cool, actual follow up report, I like it.

 

How about posting your own photos, too. I'd sure like to see the comparison.

Thanks for giving us the update.

Please forgive/overlook this incredibly rushed job at photography. Ironically, I don't even think the D is MD, it was just how they took the photos...
