    I Have Been In Search of Errors Lately And Came Across 2 Beauties. One Is A 1970 S Small Date DDO, And The Other Is A 1967 Kennedy Half Dollar DDR. I Am Getting Ready To Submit Them To Be Certified, But Does Anyone Have An Idea Of The Values Of These? I Only Have This Photo Of The '70 S Small Date Now, But Will Submit My Kennedy Half Dollar Once I Charge My Phone.

    You'd need to post photos in order to confirm it is a doubled die before submitting it. 1970 was notorious for mechanical doubling.
    Where were you planning on sending them? Hopefully not to a TPG...they won't certify unlisted doubled dies for you. Your best bet is
    1) posting photos of the coins to confirm they are doubled dies
    2) sending them to a die variety attributor if they are not listed

    Or he could send 'em to ANACS. They will put anything on a holder, right?

    I figure if it turns out they aren't doubled dies by posting photos, we could save him the attribution fees.

    Your coin shows mechanical doubling. It is not a doubled die.

    The cent also appears to me to be more likely a large date than a small date.

    In a recent post, non_cents explained that mechanical doubling is flat. And true doubling is rounded. He also provided a link that is helpful.............see, I am learning.
