1967 JFK DDO- Opinions Invited...

[Heavymetal]

I think this is a 1967 JFK Half with a doubled die obverse. Opinions are welcome, .

Check the inside tail of the 's' in Trust and the upper left inside curve of the 9 for doubling, this may be a FS-50-1967-102 DDO. Looks good to me Heavy. Congrats if so.

Can't access my book right now, but looks MDD to me. Good luck.

Looks like a DDO to me!

I submitted one like this along with three 1966 SMS Kennedys to JT Stanton (PCI) while at FUN 2007. The 66's came back DDO and the 67 came back Mechanical Doubling.

Please excuse my lack of knowledge on this subject. What is the difference between DDO and mechanically doubled? What effects on the value of this coin are realized by DDO as compared to being mechanically doubled? TIA,.

I'm not real good on this topic but I think it would be the extent of the doubling.

DDO means the obverse "die" is doubled. Mechanically doubled means doubling occured when the coin was struck and had a slight movement during the strike process.

Mechanical (also called machine, strike, ejection, shift doubling and die chatter) doubling will have a flat shelflike appearance while a true doubled die will have a secondary image that is raised and rounded, and/or with notches on the serifs. My first impression of your image is that you have mechanical doubling.

Forgot to add: mechanical doubling very seldom ever carries a premium value.

Thank-you all for your replies to my post,.
