JFK Conspiracies. . . or maybe just questions (2/8) 1 1

Double-Die is deleterious for me.  LOL, yeah, I had to look up the word before I chose to use it.  I can’t determine what is legit and what is ghost-like die erosion doubling, shelf-like strike or die doubling, microscope/scanner trickery, etc., etc., etc….  I have a few rolls of 60’s JFK’s and the bookmarked website for NGC Variety Plus coins, which for me is an extremely dangerous combination!  I found some examples that have DD effect and I would like to verify what is what.  I will try to focus on anomalies that I think are of note, but if I miss anything, please let me know.  I have an idea that only a couple of my examples will be legit regarding doubling.  I also have a funny feeling that a couple of things I did not point out may be something of note.  Any info would be fantastic and appreciated! Thanks in advance!

B: 1965: Obverse: I see nothing of note, except creepy yellow goo.  Reverse: “UNITED” has doubling to the east, “STATES” has doubling to the west, “HALF” to the west, and “DOLL” to the west and “AR” to the east.  Not all lettering and no consistent pattern, Double vision may not just be a song.

   The faint shallow secondary image on the reverse of this 1965 Kennedy half dollar is clearly not from a doubled (not "double") die!  Die doubling creates a much crisper, clearer and less shallow secondary image, with "notching" between the junctions of the primary and secondary images as on the 1965 DDR FS-802 to which I assume you are comparing it, which I would classify as a relatively minor example of a doubled die. Your coin appears to have common strike a.k.a. machine or mechanical doubling from the reverse die being slightly loose in the press.

Sandon, thank you for the information.
