I agree with MD but still a nice find. Have not seen many quarters with this. Sorry - I like MD's as they are the poor mans doubling. Some even sell well lately. Just make sure to list as a MD. LOL.
Thanks all. Thank you John - I have been working on the lighting with little luck. I even got a circle light per your video but it is also to bright. Going to try some diffused lighting set ups and see if that works for me. Have you ever tried sunlight as a source? BTW - I have seen hundreds of MD's on these coins and this one does have MD but also seems to have doubling (humbly IMO). Does a coin with MD and DD still have market?
Need another opinion on this coin. I know many of the Kennedys have MD doubling but think this one was also DD. Please note the split on the L, Thicken on the I, Raised center on the B and 8, Double lines on the E and R, Thickness and split on the Y, Thickness and doubling on the WE - they are also touching each other, Doubling on the TR in trust. I normally say this is MD but has to many places with splits and raised doubling. Please let me know what you think. Thanks all. Happy Hunting!

This maybe the easiest way to get some cool coins. If you know what you want your friend(s) can probably order "boxes" from their bank? May make your luggage heavy for the return trip though..gif" class="inlineimg" alt="" title="" /> Safe travels and happy hunting!
Quote: Also why does one proof coin look super shiny and another proof coin looks more dull?
This could be from the holders as residue from the plastic will leach on to the coins. I like to use acetone to remove any residues. You can look up more information for this on this site.
