alwayslearn New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 02/22/2012 08:48 am I have a 1974D Kennedy half dollar. I think it might be a Double Strike, but I cannot tell with my magnifying glass and eyes. The image was obtained by copying it and blowing it up 400% then taking a picture. Do not have a coin dealer here. Report this Post to the Staff

alwayslearn New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 02/22/2012 11:09 am Thanks for the input. I can't seem to get a better picture. But, I did happen to remember my wife's magnifier with a light in her sewing room. Pictures through it are not good. I now believe this is not a DDO. Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 02/22/2012 11:21 am I see a possible point of confusion here, a doubled die is not the same thing as a double strike. For a doubled die, the doubling is actually on the die itself which is then transferred to the coin with a single strike. A double strike is a coin that was actually struck twice and you can typically see the strong design on top of the much weaker first strike(second strike obliterates most of the first strike but will still leave traces of it).
