Boxcar12 Valued Member United States 155 Posts	Posted 12/14/2018 3:03 pm The front looks like a DDO but I cannot match it to Variety Vista, doubleddie.com or my Cherry Pickers book. I think the ear also looks doubled on the back ridge and the bust on the bottom left corner. The back has some doubling but may be Machine Doubling, I am not good enough yet to recognize the difference all the time. Could I get some opinions please? Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74674 Posts	Posted 12/14/2018 3:39 pm I did see a small notch on the "Y" of "LIBERTY", so it could be a minor Doubled Die, but I didn't see any other notches visable. There's also an issue with Machine Doubling as well, on the obverse. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Boxcar12 Valued Member United States 155 Posts	Posted 12/14/2018 3:42 pm I thought there were notches on the we trust and 6 9. Those are not doubled? Report this Post to the Staff
Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5239 Posts	Posted 12/14/2018 4:56 pm I do see what may be notching on the upper left serif in the word WE. It also has the RDV-002 reverse. I also think there may be a split at the top of 6. The only thing I can find that comes close is the MDO-002. Go to varietyvista.com and on the home page click the tab Master list, from there you can scroll down to Kennedy half dollars 1964 and while you won't have pictures, you can find descriptions.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/14/2018 8:06 pm There are so many master die and working hub issues that year it makes you wonder what the finial tally will be on Quote: Obverse dies: 1964 50¢ Pr WMDO-001 Doubled Master Die 1964 50¢ WMDO-002 Doubled Master Die 1964 50¢ WWHO-001 Doubled Working Hub 1964 50¢ WWHO-002 Doubled Working Hub 1964 50¢ WWHO-003 Doubled Working Hub Reverse dies: 1964 50¢ WMDR-001 Doubled Master Die 1964 50¢ WMDR-002 Doubled Master Die 1964 50¢ WWHR-001 Doubled Working Hub 1964 50¢ WWHR-002 Doubled Working Hub Check out this quad DDR on the link below. http://www.doubleddie.com/1598977.html 1964 50¢ Pr WDDR-002 "Best Of" Variety Description: Strong Class II quadrupling spread towards the center shows on USA, HALF DOLLAR, the dots, the stars in the circle, and the stars above EPU. Doubling shows on the designer's initials and on the outer arrows. The top olive leave point is tripled. Die Markers: Obverse: Accented Hair Variety. Master die doubling from WMDO-002 shows on the obverse. Reverse: Straight G in FG. A short die gouge extends from the rim above the first A in AMERICA. Cross References: CONECA: 3-R-II Comments: This variety was originally listed as WDDR-017 but was reassigned due to the large number of "holes" that were created in the listings when the reverse doubled master dies were recognized.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/14/2018 10:46 pm Probably so, but Wexler lists it as a WDDR-002. It is on one of the accented hair die halves. Report this Post to the Staff
Boxcar12 Valued Member United States 155 Posts	Posted 12/14/2018 11:02 pm I think this might be the leaves but I cannot tell if the G is straight or the doubled die makes it look flared or it is flared. Report this Post to the Staff
Boxcar12 Valued Member United States 155 Posts	Posted 12/15/2018 11:57 am From everything I have read these are fairly easy to find and not worth getting graded, is that correct? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/15/2018 12:02 pm The last image shows double lighting. That creates shadows that are not really there. Report this Post to the Staff
