I was looking through some of my grandfathers coins and came across this 64-D kennedy with doubling on "WE TRUST". It's almost identical the the 2009 Red Book pic of a 1974-D DDO (page 202), but without any doubling on the 4 in the date. Haven't been able to find any mention of this in any publications. Anyone else seen/heard of this?
Sorry the pics aren't the best.

I'd like to see a bigger closeup of the "Trust" to be sure but there are several 1964d DDOs listed in Cherrypickers. Try to get the picture as big and as clear as you can.

Gramps

Edit: Ok, I was able to blow it up in "paint" and yes, it is a DDO

Congratulations!!

Hi,

It is definitely a DDO. We may be able to further identify it with a close up of WE TRUST.

There are TDO and QDO die varieties as well on '64 D Kennedys as well.

Have Fun,
Bill

The TDO has a RPM North on the mint mark on the reverse. That might help.

Where is the 'D' mint mark on your 1964-D Kennedy half dollar?

A very nice photo showing all the details of the tripled hubbing in the motto as well as the mintmark, a very nice collectible, is it an LDS.

thanks,

I've never considered the die state, but from what I can tell it looks like a late MDS. The die flow lines are appearing, but the edges of the devices are still in tact. But I bought the coin at a coin show just for my collection of BU coins. After I got it home then realized it was a variety. I checked the next show and the price had raised 5 times as much as he had figured out what it was by then.

The local show is a small one. It meets once a month. After going there a few years, the sellers have got wind of me and look very closely at what I buy. So I've not gone for a few years now, due to changes in work schedules and cutting back on my coin budget a little. I've got to get back to searching what I already have and selling extras of what I've found and what I don't collect no longer. But I figure that is what retirement time is for.

I was going to wait and let the professionals make the first pronouncement but I'm going to step up and say you have a Doubled Die.....I just don't see a third or fourth in those pictures. It's an exciting find and I'm proud for you
