    Not finding any listings anywhere for a 1967 Kennedy with a doubled eye. Also from your pictures I am not seeing any doubling. What exactly are you seeing on the coin that says doubled?

    Perhaps you are referring to the "doubling" look on the eyelid near the corner of the eye. I believe that is a post mint nick, similar to the one in the field just below the chin.

    I’m not seeing any doubling on this coin.

    There is a solid line going from his tear duct to the top of his eye making the same curves as the eye curves. nicks and hits don't follow curved lines. I know the pictures don't show it well cause lighting and trying to learn new phone. Santa all I want for Xmas is a coin microscope camera Photo_Magnifying 09.12.2023 11_35_07~4.png

    It looks like it’s worth fifty cents to me.

    I think a microscope is not going to help… they just over magnify things and make every ding and dent took like something. It’s why mine now resides in its case at the bottom of a pile of other stuff.

    I do see what you are referring to in the eye but need to point out there are no doubled eyes listed that I can find. It’s a modern coin which means high speed press for the coins. That means almost 0 chance of a one off error. Finally it’s from 1967, 57 years of circulation and no others have been found. That’s a lot against a truly doubled die here, but if you feel confident you have something there are places that can attribute your coin for a price.

    I am also in the camp of too minor even if it is doubled to get an attribution.

    It looks cool to me and that's how I collect things. On the other hand I do have 1 collection that my family and friends contribute to I've never gotten any of the items myself and that is my coca-cola stuff I must have 60 maybe 70 different items ranging from pot holders to pool stick to mirrors all over the collecting spectrum

    Nothin wrong with keeping it. I was once going thru some Kennedy's found a cool die stage. I kept it because it was cool to me,
    I started looking for one die marker on the obverse. I eventually found a die match.
