Anyway, what I have been looking for are letters/numbers that look like this: [url]http://www.numismedia.com/coinguys/top50/1974d50.jpg[/url] 1) Is that the easiest thing to look for in doubled dies? "Lines" in the letters? There are also split serifs that are harder to spot? I've also read about a "light" or "strong spread" (CONECA's varietyvista website). Does that refer to the "lines in the letters" or can it also mean that the letters are slightly thicker than normal? 2) Varietyvista lists 14 different doubled die Kennedy halves between 1971 and 1992.
