I don't believe it, doesn't make sense to me.

Should be some sort of strectch mark or something, not just a perfect impression of 2 hits.
As Johnny Cochran says, "This does not make sense."

 

I am no expert but it doesn't look right to me. Looks kinda like 2 coins I have that were determined to have been struck with fake dies, though the second strike on mine are not so pronounced.

 

Check this "Error" out....

HOW DO PEOPLE GET AWAY WITH THIS FALSENESS?!

A quote straight off his ebay sale....."it has doubling caused by what appears to be lamination error".....Yeah.....okay buddy......

 

Looks totally fine to me. Many of the older, 50s and 60s coins that are double struck just show a weak second strike. Nothing realy looks suspicious about it. His other coins are also very rare and genuine errors. There are a few that are mislabeled, and a few that are not real errors, but that is because he/she seems to not know much about error coins. Some of the genuine errors sold for really good prices. It's an amazing collection, the sms kennedy on quarter planchet my favorite!

Actually I couldn't say that I'm 100% that it's sms, but all the signs are there.
Also, the false die strikes that have been pointed out were all in collar double strikes, a totally different monster imo.

 

Someone fell for it . What a shame .

 

That is not always the case, especially with errors where slabbing doesn't always add value. (in this case it would)

So fast to point the finger. Please wait for an expert to reply. Many of the errors that the seller currently has up and has just recently sold show no signs of being counterfeit. It's good to be cautious but you have to apply logic to your accusations. It's true that the cent is strange in the fact that there is little distortion to the original shape but you have no case or example from this sellers items to see "how easy it would be to strike a silver dime planchet...with a fake die of any denomination."

Sorry for the rant. Just laying out my opinion.

 

None of the error coins this seller had looked good to me , they all looked suspicious.
most of the time when a seller has this many wrong planchet coins and some of them are easy to see as fakes then usually the rest are. that half dollar on the quarter planchet
you mentioned the 7 in the date plus other things didn't look right to me . I also noticed that all of his or her dime and cent planchet coins struck with nickel
dies appeared to have been struck on the reverse side with the same die as evidenced by the odd shaped top of the letters. The seller had a good refund offer so maybe the buyers can get a refund if they don't like the coins. I'm not saying they were all fake , just suspicious looking IMO.

There are thousands of good die makers in the world that can easily make any coin die they want to . If someone wanted to be a thief it would be easy to buy real mint planchets
and strike them with whatever size die a person wanted to use.I would venture to say that thousands of these have already been graded and slabbed by the top TPG companys. Just
because a coin is slabbed don't guarantee that it is the real thing.

 

I don't know who looked at these coins for you , they told you the truth. these are really easy to identify from just the photos.
One sure way to know these are altered coins is to measure the diameter of them or compare them to other normal coins.
these altered ones usually will be a bit larger in diameter. this only applies to coins like your's that were struck inside of the
retaining collar. also your coins have extra letters out in the level field part of the coin that would have been wiped out by
the second strike if they were real mint errors. this is a good thing to remember when looking at error coins.

 

They are the correct diameter, whoever did them must have used something for a collar to keep them from expanding from the strike.

 

The seven in the date of the Kennedy half was distorted due to the lack of metal which lead to the outward flow of the metal as the planchet expanded. I'd also suspect that this is the same case with the 'odd shaped top of the letters' that you mention. What exactly do you mean by this?
