Danjor Valued Member United States 92 Posts	Posted 04/06/2023 6:53 pm 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! Report this Post to the Staff

Danjor Valued Member United States 92 Posts	Posted 04/06/2023 8:17 pm 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? Report this Post to the Staff

A coin with MD and hub doubling does have a premium but I would think a bit less with the MD. Sunlight works well. I put a coin on the windowsill and take pics most times unless I use my scope for close ups. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
