piercethegrimes Valued Member United States 260 Posts	Posted 05/28/2018 12:13 pm Decent doubling on IGWT and the date (trust looks tripled) The profile also looks doubled but capturing an image is proving difficult. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/28/2018 12:47 pm This doesn't look anything like MD. But I feel it is part of a WHDDO-002? If so there should be doubling on the ear and hair also: http://doubleddie.com/1141429.html Quote: 1966 50¢ WWHO-002 Description: Strong doubling shows on back of the neck and head as well as on the lower profile including the neck, chin, and lips. Doubling also shows on the back of the ear, the hair details to the right of the upper ear, and the designer's initials. A close spread shows on IGWT. Die Markers: Obverse: The markers will vary on the different working dies. Reverse: The markers will vary on the different working dies. There has been an issue with a working hub that was doubled. But not MD. Need more images to see if the doubling also on the other areas to know for sure. Report this Post to the Staff
Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4424 Posts	Posted 05/28/2018 2:15 pm I agree that there's no MD, they're probably seeing the reflection from the lighting. There are very slight notches and separation lines on the letters, likely the doubled working hub as coop said. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 79393 Posts	Posted 05/28/2018 2:40 pm It's not Machine Doubling. It's a Doubled Die Obverse with light notching and separation lines. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/28/2018 5:13 pm MD usually affects the edges. A doubled die is seen in the center part of the spread. Not on the edges. (So don't there.) Report this Post to the Staff
atrox001 Valued Member United States 314 Posts	Posted 05/28/2018 7:31 pm Looking at your photos, especially seeing two small die gouges in the last one, I think you may have the CONECA listed 66 SMS DDO-028. A way to tell for sure I believe would be to see if your half has the listed marker, light die scratch south west of the lower lip, or the very light CW rotation on the I and B of LIBERTY. See photos attached from the DDO-028 in my collection. Larry Nienaber Report this Post to the Staff
