[QUOTE="cphine, post: 740108, member: 20940"]In the first picture, I have the obverse of a 1991-P Kennedy Half dollar coin with obvious doubling on the nose, ear, and below the chin. It is definately an error, but in all my reading about the difference between machine doubling and an actual doubled die, I haven't really seen any good pictures. Given the odds, I'm betting this is just machine doubling, but could someone let me know for sure? I was also curious, since both are rare, why is it that doubled dies are considered valuable while machine doubling is considered damage? Is it just relative rarity? The second picture I thought was just a terribly damaged Kennedy Half. It looks extemely worn down. On second glance though, with the rims still intact as they are, how could it be normal ware? Wouldn't it have impaced the rims as well? Is there any other way for this to have been created? Thanks. ~Christian[/QUOTE]
