Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7516 Posts	Posted 12/08/2017 2:33 pm Always search your Mint Sets closely, you'll never know what could be waiting to be found. This is a 1971-D Kennedy out of a complete 71 Mint set. DDO-017 with Four serifs in the lower I of IN. There was a surprise awaiting on the reverse that I did not notice at first after posting this topic I noticed it has a nice Struck Thru. on the reverse as well!

Indeed, have bought some plus several sets that I have not looked at in my collection for a long time, so who knows what's waiting. Report this Post to the Staff
Bump111 Pillar of the Community United States 3327 Posts	Posted 12/08/2017 9:38 pm This is a great teachable moment. One of you die / minting specialists explain why there are 4 notches on the "I".

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 12/09/2017 01:38 am Doublinghappens during the hubbing process of the master working hub. When putting a die together, sections are added one on top of the other. It seems that at least four hubs were used. #1 may have been just this section of the periphery details. Then, adding to this would be another element around the hub, the first hubbing is replicated here each time. it becomes additive, so if five hubbing were used to produce the working hub, then it could happen that it could rotate slightly each time. Those are pretty minute movements ya know, this is done by us critters capable of the shakes! Report this Post to the Staff

atrox001 Valued Member United States 311 Posts	Posted 12/09/2017 1:33 pm I don't think your 71D is the 71D DDO-017, below is a photo of the I in IN for the 71D DDO-017, note the four serifs (photo is from the discovery half). I believe your half is the 71D DDO-013. A couple of markers for the -013 that can be found on stages B and C are, a die crack through the top of the T in LIBERTY, and a light die gouge northeast in the field at the lower back hairline, see photos below.

Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7516 Posts	Posted 12/09/2017 2:34 pm atrox, thank you for the info. I do not see any matching markers for DDO-013, however I would like to have a definite and correct designation for this DDO if it is not a 71D DDO-017 Report this Post to the Staff
