Way too many photos. How about a shot of the entire coin?
Congratulations on the discovery coin.

Congrats and thanks for showing all the areas affected.
Is that a die chip below the R (TRUST) that can be used as a marker?
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.

Not seeing this half dollar in hand...It looks to me like it has a lot of Strike Doubling in your photos. I would like to see what James Wiles would say if he attributed it in hand. |

I think you all should look close again at each photo...where do you see any doubling except Strike Doubling? |

For me seem to be more an FFD then an DDO. I took in consideration the year of production and the ways the Dies are produce. Before 1999 probably will be TDO but today the DDO's show others characteristics. Only my oppinion. |

Definitely looks like Class II hub doubling, which seems to have returned in 2022. A good number of Class IIs have come up recently with a few cent and nickel Class II doubled dies already listed in the Wexler files.
I haven't seen any of the 2023 half dollars yet but 8 out of the 9 2023-P halves photographed by PCGS so far have this doubling. I'd be hesitant to call it a doubled die yet.

Whew, ok, Tanner said it. =) I would imagine that it might be hub doubling of some form, given that it appears on quite a number of coins. Although the page I looked at was first release coins, which might have been all from a limited set of working dies. I know that single squeeze doubled dies don't look like classic doubles, but this 2023 DDO really reminds me of that soft quality of old school hub doubles. I have just been reading the Wexler files on early Kennedy halves. The files are really different from CONECA/VV, the CPG, other sources. Quite an interesting read, would love to locate some articles or write ups on that subject. |

I need some clarification soon...my KHD questionable pile is reaching maximum cap... : )
I'm fearing my kids will have to figure this out...put in a tube and sold for melt...
I like these and I hate them...
