Double Die or Machine Doubling?

Not sure pretty sure its Double die looked it up in that condition its worth around at lest 500

 

worn die

 

First, it appears to be machine doubling rather than a true doubled die. Notice how it has a flat, shelf-like appearance. I've owned several Kennedy's with true doubling on the silhouette, and it is rounded just like the die itself.

Furthermore, if it were true doubling, it would not be worth that much because the condition is not good enough to warrant a $500 price tag.

I would have to go with machine doubling as well

 

MDD without a doubt.

 

I am not sure as I have not seen MD like that before, let the experts chime in.

Hi,

Just add some pics :








Anyway, it is an interesting coin.

Thank you all!

not mdd, or md, either, its a worn die

 

The doubling you see on the profile in your new photos is MDD (Machine Damage Doubling)!

Maybe we should wait for the experts to chime in?

I think one of them just did! (LOL)

 

If it was the DDO-001 and graded MS66 by a major grading company then it might be worth close to 500.

 

Here is an example of Machine Damage Doubling, notice the profile of Kennedy's face.

Here is some doubling on a 50c 74D DDO-001.

Oddly enough, the Profile on the 1974-D Kennedy Half has little to no doubling at all unlike the 1966 coins which have massive doubling on the profile.

What would be cool would be to have the 1966 Profile Doubling on the 1974-D Lettering!

 

Hi,

As i can see, it's MD like 1966 exemple. DD : letters look interlace... not on mine.

Thank you!
