Hello guys today has been a great day. I finally find something exiting my first double die reverse. My first double die anything. It's a 1965 Kennedy half dollar. Any information would be great. would like to know what something like this might be worth sins I have no experience in errors. Thanks guys Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
@imprezax06 What you are mistaking for a doubled die appears to be machine doubling. I wouldn't be too concerned about it, though, because the 1965-1970 Kennedy half dollars are 40% silver (.1479 ozs. per coin) and the melt value is probably more than the coin would be worth based on its condition.

There is a difference between hub doubling and machine doubling. What you have shown us on your coin is flat and shelf-like which is typical of machine doubling. Chris
What you have on the reverse is machine doubling and not a true Doubled Die. The interesting side of your coin is actually the obverse and not the reverse. You have what looks like a detached lamination error above the S in TRUST. Take a look at that large discolored patch, I bet it's an area of missing metal. That is something, versus the reverse machine doubling.
sorry new member but the others are correct, what u have is worthless mechanical doubling, see here..http://doubleddie.com/144822.html
Closely compare you coin to the one you've shown listed in cherrypickers. In particular, look at the O in OF; do you not see the clear and obvious differences in the direction of the "doubling"? Just because a known variety displays doubling on a certain area or device, this doesn't mean any coin with any type of doubling in the same area is automatically a match. The doubling on said genuine varieties is imparted by the dies and cannot change direction. This can be confusing, I know, but do spend some time reading about the various forms of doubling and how to identify each; you'll be the better for it.
Thanks for all the fed back. You guys are right not a doubled die [emoji22] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
