1968 JFK,
I have been looking at this Coin and noticing the rounding with split ends on the serifs.
As a learning tool, this does not look like regular Machine Doubling but also not Doubled dies. Is this just circulation wear? Just looking for markers to help me learn.

Thank to the members for looking

But it is a very minor example. When you have an image with just one device, it is very minor. When taking images of collectable doubled dies, it is best to use 3-5 images in your image. That will show us how minor it is or if it is strong. Most collectors only buy doubled die that they can see with a 10X loupe. So too much magnification is over kill. Yes it is a doubled die, but you would probably never find a listing for it.

Thanks Coop and NDCENT,
Coop I just used the images I used to recognize the DDO. It won't be sold as everything I find will be left to my grandchildren. The overkill on pics is due to my anxiety to be thorough "OCD" kind of.
So do you think I can mark the flip as minor DDO ?
And thank you for taking the time to even look at my coins as the opinions of my community go a long way.
