Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10038 Posts	Posted 12/06/2012 10:47 pm Nice find I know collectors do not put a premium on something like this, but with that much MD I'd keep it for sure. I have a 1966 something like this. I have often wondered how hard it would be to put together a set of MD JFKs - it might be fun to try. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 12/07/2012 06:59 am There is no such thing as an "error" being caused by a die variety. Doubled dies are not errors, they are die varieties. And your coin exhibits very typical Machine Doubling. Report this Post to the Staff
jcoldwate New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 12/07/2012 1:40 pm Thanks guys for the good comments & info. To be honet Machine Doubling & Double Die coins look very similar to my novice eyes. I will simply collect them all as they are both cool to me. Report this Post to the Staff
