Collector-Corner Pillar of the Community 872 Posts	Posted 11/03/2013 03:42 am I cracked the Proof Kennedy out of the stinking case. I tried to shoot pics of the coin in plastic, but results were bizarre. Hopefully these look a bit better. Report this Post to the Staff

Kloccwork419 Pillar of the Community United States 1359 Posts	Posted 11/03/2013 08:47 am Looks like ejection doubling. Hard to tell for sure from the pix. What year is it? Edited by Kloccwork419 11/03/2013 08:48 am Report this Post to the Staff

rpmes Valued Member United States 388 Posts	Posted 11/03/2013 09:50 am IDK, from what I've seen of other DDO coins, I'd say it looks DDO to me but it's border line. It could be Die Deterioration too. Edited by rpmes 11/03/2013 09:52 am Report this Post to the Staff
Kloccwork419 Pillar of the Community United States 1359 Posts	Posted 11/03/2013 10:52 am It does look like a doubled die but then it dont look like it too. TRUST I would say no but GOD WE is 50/50. Without better pix theres no telling Report this Post to the Staff
Collector-Corner Pillar of the Community 872 Posts	Posted 11/03/2013 12:51 pm Better Pics? This is a deep cameo 1998 Kennedy half with an almost black surface. Lighting is almost on top of the coin. Its either what you get as shown or way too bright. I agree, its borderline. In some areas like Liberty, I have two "L's" Two "I's" and the rest of it looks like ejection doubling. Its 50/50 looking. I'll spend the 17 bucks to get it graded later on and let the "experts" at ANACS pull their hair out on this one..... = ) Thank You all for your inputs, they are much appreciated. Other post about same coin.... https://goccf.com/t/161150 Edited by Collector-Corner 11/03/2013 12:56 pm Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/03/2013 1:42 pm I agree with kloccwork419 that it is Machine Doubling (ejection doubling). When you enlarge images with too high of magnification, it make nothing look like something. The biggest clue is that devices are not widened like hub doubling would create. The devices are just normal sized with the ejection marks. Report this Post to the Staff
