1968 S Kennedy DDO?

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.

"This shall be a sign onto you..."

 

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 ..

 

Okay so, is it or isn't it? I'd like to know because I have some like it.

 

I can help with that .
The Reverse isn't doubled Right ?

 

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.

 

4, 5 and 6 have the doubled Date .
What does " Liberty " look like ?

 

We can narrow it down .

 

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.

I see that your ears have grown and your looking a little green.

 

Looked at all the listings and none mention the profile & hair. Neither Wexler or NGC even have the 68's listed to compare to. What are the odds it's slipped through the cracks all these years?

 

It's a Proof Coin and not sure what that area suppose to like ...

 

I'm going as Yo-Yo-Da temporarily. Note the cello.

 

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).
