Thanks to Dearborn, E&V and Boguss for your responses.
Dearborn, per your suggestion, here are two additional images of the doubling of L in LIBERTY.

This is a photo taken of the coin from an upside down angle.

Opinion Dearborn and others? Sure looks like a possible doubled die to me.

Now with the new addition pictures, it might be a DDO.

Thanks for the response, E&V. This may be a newly discovered DDO--on a Kennedy half that's 47 years old!

Great news! Just received confirmation from a Coneca examination that this 1976-D Kennedy half is a DDO. There are no matches on VV or Wexler, so it is apparently new.
Any suggestions as to how to proceed with an attribution?

Hi, All the respect in the world but it may come back as too minor to list if you send it to Wiles That has happen to me in the past.

Thanks E&V and Brandmeister. I am excited! After the many days and hours of hunting and looking at coins, it's great to find a new variety.

Not seeing a DDO. You should send it to James Wiles at Variety Vista for an attribution.

The "L" was what I noticed.
Your images seem to show a very lite secondary vertical bar to the left on the L as well. This would seem to correlate to doubling on the base of the L as well.
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

I recall this original post and at the time I saw this as a very minor DDO, if anything at all.
Would also like to know what outcome was realized on this one.

IMHO the more people magnify their coin photos, the more questionable these very minor
Doubled Dies are becoming. IMHO.
