Message:: [QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 2152577, member: 15929"]Doubling on DOLLAR? 99.9% chance its machine doubling which ran rampant on the CnClad Kennedy Half Dollars. As for what to look for? Why doubling of course! But true "die" doubling and not doubling made during the minting process. 1971-D has some really nice doubled dies. Look at "WE TRUST" on the obverse. Some DDR coins also exist with a strong split on the last "S" in STATES.Some of the WE TRUST DDO's for 1971-D can be found in 1971 Mint Sets.  1972 also had a really nice Doubled Die Obverse (DDO). Again, look at "We Trust" [ATTACH=full]413188[/ATTACH] 1972-D has a No FG (designer initials) on the reverse. These are quite scarce. [ATTACH=full]413189[/ATTACH] 1973-D has an easily recognizable DDO and 1974-D has probably the BEST DDO of all. [ATTACH=full]413190[/ATTACH] 1977-D also has a nice DDO [ATTACH=full]413191[/ATTACH] There are many, many minor DDO and DDR coins but you'll have to look closely. Whenever I search Kennedy rolls, I always pull out and silver (obviously) but I also pull out coins from 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1977, 1980, 1984, 1989 as these years have either doubling or RPM's or Missing designer initials. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, the 1982 P & D Kennedy';s have a No FG coin but they are way more common than the 1972-D's and in much better condition. Good Luck.
