    I've looked in VV and Wexler's and find no listing of this if it is in fact a DDO? The inner and outer ear along with the hair above and in front of the ear show doubling. If it were just the ear itself I could see MD, but given the hair too shows signs, makes me think I'm on to something? There's also a triple spread on the "UST" of TRUST that I can't get to show in any picture. 2018-08-21 08.58.53.jpg 2018-08-21 09.00.14.jpg 2018-08-21 21.54.40.jpg 2018-08-21 21.55.39.jpg

    I think he means no DDing there.

    There's a good chance it's a DDO .
    I see it has the flared G , which is a good sign ..

    What do the " Stars " look like under the lower letters of
    " States Of America " ?

    What do the " Stars " look like under
    " UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, stars between rays, and E PLURIBUS UNUM " ?

    Upon a closer examination with my "super loupe", I also see minor spread on all of IGWT with the emphasis on the UST, date, and designer's initials. Other than the flared G, there's nothing going on with the reverse. Guess I'll pack it up and send off to Wexler's for attribution.

    Didn't notice anything out of the ordinary there. No splits, notches, or spread.

    I can see the " Y " of Liberty is Doubled .

    Nice catch Rick, I totally missed that. The glare off the coin from the light on my loupe must have drowned that out. I looked it over again and along with the Y, there is a spread of the upper half of the L also. I'll go through Wexler again this morning and see if I can match up anything, but from all the ones listed, none mentioned any doubling of the profile?

    Never underestimate the influence of lighting. It is THE SINGLE ESSENCE of the entire endeavor.

    If you want help or any opinions with an attribution of your half dollar you need to add other photos of the doubling. I can tell you the doubling on the profile and in and around the ear would be MDD. I think the doubling on the Y of LIBERTY that you show may just be from a MD (Master Die).
