It doesn't look shelf like in hand,but I just wanted to check with y'all. Variety Vista lists a DDO 001,but no picture.Mr.Wexler doesn't list a DDO for a '77. What do you think?

I don't see anything like a doubled die.
I looked at it for a long time -- went away to rest my eyes and came back -- and I still don't see it.

Quote: I was looking more at the lips and lower nose area Okay, I see what you're looking at. I think it does appear to have a bit of something extra there but I think that is just the result of Die Deterioration. I see a lot of faint die flow lines radiating outward and that's a sign that it is worn. This coin might have been made at the beginning of the Late Die State (LDS). I hope someone can confirm that.... Anyway, good eye for spotting that. I'm sure you'll find lots of good stuff with your attention to detail.

I have seen this on a lot of Kennedy halves,but they have that shelf look to them at all angles.What caught My eye was,this one,it has a 'round' edge,no shelf to it,and you can only see it at one angle.Turn the coin slightly,and the effect seems to disappear.  Dunno,I'll throw it in the odd-ball pile.Thanks anyhow!

No harm in keeping it. The only other thing I could suggest -- if you're willing -- is to send it to CONECA so an expert can see it in hand.
