I have this 1968-S Kennedy half in a PCGS slab (PR68DCAM). Appears to be a nice DDO (ear, date and letters) but no annotation of such on the slab. Any help with attribution is greatly appreciated. Could not find in Cherry Pickers or Dr. Wiles Kennedy half dollar reference book. Photos/lighting were tough due to the reflective proof surface and slab. My thanks as always.

I see machine damage on most of the devices. It is reducing the size of the devices with a shelf like look to them. There is no hub doubling notching in the corners. Nothing is enlarged like most hub doubling.

Looks like Strike Doubling to me (aka Machine or Mechanical Doubling, Die Bounce, Ejection Doubling, Chatter, etc.)
