<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JohnT, post: 1510332, member: 38624&quot;]Hey all,&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>As a reminder this is the coin (a proof 1964 Kennedy in the plastic):</p><p>[ATTACH]195144.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]195145.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]195146.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]195147.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p>and this is the link to the post:</p><p><a href="http://www.cointalk.com/t208912/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/t208912/">http://www.cointalk.com/t208912/</a></p><p><a href="http://www.cointalk.com/t208912/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/t208912/"><br /></a></p><p>For those in a hurry and don&#039;t wish to read further... this coin had no premium.</p><p><br /></p><p>If any of you aren&#039;t members of CONECA or haven&#039;t used the attribution/examination service (I&#039;m speaking to those like me who are lacking experience/knowledge), this is a great resource.&nbsp; Membership is $25 a year and buys you 6 magazines and discounted attribution/examination services (they even sent me a 1960-D/D RMP-003 with my first magazine!)</p><p><br /></p><p>In addition to receiving my coins back, I received a letter of explanation.&nbsp; For the coins (the other was a cent that also had no premium):</p><p>&quot;Master Die Doubled Obverse (MDO). Almost all 1964 Kennedy halves have doubling on IN GOD WE TRUST because of a doubled master die.&nbsp; Good pick up on the splits in the serifs on the G, W, and Y.&nbsp; This is what you are looking for.&nbsp; Except when it&#039;s a master die doubled die.&nbsp; You can check the CONECA master listing website above.&nbsp; It has listings for all known MDOs.&nbsp; No premium value.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>In my OP, <span style="color: #333333">Larry Nienaber suggested looking at the Master listing, but I didn&#039;t really understand what that was (again, lacking knowledge and experience... and not really sure I&#039;d understand what I read).&nbsp; </span></p><p><span style="color: #333333"><br /></span></p><p>Overall, for the money spent, this was a good experience.&nbsp; I was educated and I had a 2nd set of eyes to give me a sanity/reality check.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks to all who responded to the OP, I&#039;m always learning something new from your posts.</p><p><br /></p><p>Many thanks,</p><p>JohnT[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
