[QUOTE="MintyFresh, post: 1269144, member: 20041"]Thanks atrox001, Great pics. Your're right, while very similar, yours is has a greater degree of spread on the Ess & Eee. My coin displasy minor doubling (weaker strike) compared with yours. Your stars appear to have a EW spread while mine have a NS spread. While I can readily see the spread in my stars with an optical 10X triplet loupe they may well be minor; it's just that I have never seen that type of doubling before (as I don't actually collect kennedys I just have a lot from broken mint sets), it took me by suprise and I got 'interested' :). I am actually dumping a lot of minor coins, was doing a little post "Spring Cleanning" when I came accross them. I learned last night from a fellow collecor that the 60's & 70's had lots of minor doubling in the stars and as well as other devices. I sending one in for attribution anyway to get a little more educated on what I am seeing. Giving the rest to my grandkids. Thanks[/QUOTE]
