Compare to this one: http://www.varietyvista.com/1966PDDO005%20half.htm Also some other listings here. Your feature is right at the edge - these DDOs seem to be further in.

kdrcoinzz Valued Member United States 281 Posts	Posted 07/23/2015 9:09 pm there is doubling on IGWT but I cant get the right lighting to photograph, more so on coin 1 than on coin 2. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/23/2015 9:23 pm They way to tell is to look at the outside edge of the bust. If it is there, then it is machine damage. If it slightly inside, then it is a doubled die. Here is how you can tell from images of both: Note the one on the right is step like on that area? That is machine damage. I'm seeing the same thing on your coin. Report this Post to the Staff

ChildOfTheWheat Pillar of the Community United States 5828 Posts	Posted 07/24/2015 07:46 am MD adds no value what's so ever. I wouldn't list it as MD Report this Post to the Staff
Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3331 Posts	Posted 07/24/2015 08:37 am There are some instances where MD actually *does* add value, even though it is quite distasteful to those who study Numismatics! A quick search of sold listings on ebay attests to that: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odk...e&_sacat=253 There are a few at the top of this list. I suppose I am stirring up trouble to make that observation! Edited by Pete2226 07/24/2015 09:36 am Report this Post to the Staff
