Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 07/27/2018 4:57 pm I'm certainly not an expert but I believe it's MD unfortunately. The B shows it best to me, very flat and shelf like, and it reduces the overall size of the B Report this Post to the Staff
Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7516 Posts	Posted 07/27/2018 5:18 pm I agree with Adam, it is not a DDO variety. Doubling is a MD and confined to the edges of the devices. Report this Post to the Staff
jimbucks Pillar of the Community United States 4692 Posts	Posted 07/27/2018 5:28 pm There are several varieties of the DDO of this date and they were from SMS, and I couldn't say if this was DDO or MD. Even if it was a DDO, it's not really collected, and doesn't bring too much of a premium even if it was high grade. If MD, no premium. Since this coin is circulated, odds are it is MD since it would have had to be broken out of a SMS if DDO. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74875 Posts	Posted 07/27/2018 5:40 pm That's Machine Doubling unfortunately, since the devices are reduced in size, and it's shelflike (flat) in appearance. http://www.error-ref.com/machine-doubling/ Errers and Varietys.

stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 07/27/2018 10:19 pm There are quite a few doubled working dies thay show this type of doubling from 1966, in and out of special mint sets. These dies have been traced back to working hubs. From the OP's photos I agree with others that there seem to be elements of MDing though the chin in particular appears to have doubling from a doubled hub. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/27/2018 10:22 pm John Wexler pull a lot of these off his site as Master hub/die issues. So save it for now, until gets the site all updated. (Sometimes we have to wait for the better site coming. Be patient) Report this Post to the Staff
Hwy14 Valued Member United States 300 Posts	Posted 07/28/2018 01:27 am I thought maybe these would help. The green photos are Wexler's. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74875 Posts	Posted 07/28/2018 01:31 am It's definitely Machine Doubling, since it's reduced in size, and it's shelflike (flat) in appearance. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
atrox001 Valued Member United States 311 Posts	Posted 07/28/2018 1:16 pm There are 37 66 DDO listings in the CONECA Master Listings, 18 SMS's and 19 BS's http://varietyvista.com/Variety%20M...65-1966.htm). There is so much PMD on your half dollar it is hard to make an attribution, but using the CW spread on LIB of LIBERTY and comparing your photos to the BS's (yours is not a SMS it is a BS) in my collection the LIB doesn't match anything listed. There is only one BS listing with CW doubling on LIB, 66 BS DDO-031 and your doesn't match it. I agree with the previous post your half dollar is MDD. Larry Nienaber Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/28/2018 1:20 pm If it were a DDO, then the other doubling would also be present: If it is a doubled die, then all doubling should match. Report this Post to the Staff
