What is unusual about this 1964 D Kennedy Half?

Moved the photo so everyone could see it.

A dangling 4?

 

A shodow 4 to the right of the 6.

 

Hint: Look at “We Trust”(especially the W), the “4”, and the base of the neck.

 

I thought something looked off there but I do not know the series well enough to chime in

 

I have to say this since we’re on by the second page: Have you been drinking a little too much? LOL Doubling?

 

Not drinking. Doubling is close, but not the answer.

 

Spider bite to the fore head, but I'm maybe thinking 'accented hair'...The 'I' truncation in liberty looks promising for such a designation.

 

We (we trust) looks doubled, but I'm thinking it's the lighting which is throwing me off.

 

Okay, the reveal. It is hard to tell how many multiple die strikes occur when it is more than doubled. People got the idea that it was multiply struck; in this case, it is a QDO. Hard to tell, without a loupe, but based on the thickness of the W, and the date, it is a quintuple strike.

 

Only teasing about the drinking. I think what you see is difficult to capture in a photo, especially if you don’t know what to look for specifically.

 

You may want to check the cross reference for this coin.
WDDO-005 does cross to :
Coneca; 5-0-II And Cherrypickers; FS-50-1964D-105 (013.6)
For me the marker is the die gouge between the N & I in United on the reverse.
I do not know how a QDO & a TDO can have the same die pair and marker.

 

great find @ year

 

Looks like the Quad. die obv. By the way...I didn't peek!

 

Something with the 'W' in 'WE'...? Dunno...otherwise a 64 to me.

 

They're mistaken all the time. They're just not caught at it all the time.

 

I think I am caught up now. What a great opportunity to learn some new.
The Wexler site calls the WDDO-005 a triple die.

 

PCGS calls it a 105.
