1972 IKE PROOF DDO/DDR?

  1. Hello Cointalk,

    This coin appears to have split serifs in several places. Mostly on the obverse, but one on the reverse as well. It is very clear with a loupe, but hard to get good pictures. Also wondering about the weird texture at the edges of the "U" and "N". Any feedback would be much appreciated! Thank you!

    I can see the split serifs quite clearly, but there are at least 10 DDO's for the proof coin that I am aware of. Perhaps someone with more knowledge of the Ikes will chime in. ~ Chris
     
  4. Thanks Chris!
     
  5. Can someone comment on the rarity of doubling on both sides of this particular coin? I looked at Wexlers, but don't find the same error. Any suggestions for finding the right DDO/DDR number?

    nice pics through plastic and all. Hard to do! Proofs especially can play "reflection" havoc on a digital pic making a common coin look doubled and tripled.. Doesnt look like you are experiencing that though. Await some expert opinion. Chris is excellent and him saying he sees legit split is a very positive thing for certain.

    William...listen to Rick on this coin. He knows Kennedy better than anyone around. Follow his advice.

    I'd keep it in a air tight container .
    I like to look and hold my coins .

    But I do have cherrypicker coins, graded and slabbed ..
