carwash Pillar of the Community United States 664 Posts	Posted 01/16/2019 07:58 am Picked this up in a PCGS holder not labeled as a FS-103. What do you think? Sure looks like one to me. I'm thinking of sending it to PCGS to re-holder it with the variety attribution. Die gouges. * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Die scratch chin Die scratches reverse Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/16/2019 10:55 am Nice find. I'd still keep it even though it maybe be one of the Working Hub Doubled dies. Wexler reveals This information on his site: Quote: Significant changes have been made to the 1966 Kennedy half dollar obverse doubled die listings due to the discovery of three different obverse doubled working hubs. http://doubleddie.com/1141429.html The reassignment of numerous 1966 Kennedy half dollar obverse doubled die listings as being from the obverse doubled working hubs left huge "holes" in the obverse doubled die listings for this date. As an example, there were once 37 listings for the 1966 obverse doubled dies. Now there are just 12 working dies and the three working hubs. Many listings were assigned new numbers in order to fill the gaping holes in the listings. Notations of these changes are made for each of the affected varieties. What does that mean? While they are showing hub doubling, the problem is that the hub was doubled, so technically they are not doubled dies, as the doubling was on the hub. There are a few examples of doubled dies that were created on a die that had hub doubling. But I would save these for now. I'm not buying any as the value may just bottom out, or something else may happen? Who knows. But Evidently the something must be up as several of the listings on Variety Vista doesn't have images anymore. So time will tell on these for their value. They may just be listed by their WWHDO-001-3 numbers in the future. But Wexler has removed many from his attribution lists and have replaced them. CPG has not noticed this yet.

atrox001 Valued Member United States 311 Posts	Posted 01/16/2019 11:47 am I think your half dollar does match the CONECA listed 66 SMS DDO-013, FS-50-1966-103 (13.8). Note the marker, two light die gouges nest to the rim south-west of IN. http://varietyvista.com/Variety%20M....htm#_1966_5 Photo of the DDO-013 in my collection.

carwash Pillar of the Community United States 664 Posts	Posted 01/17/2019 07:18 am Thanks for all your responses and info on the working hubs coop. There is a lot to look at on this coin to try and determine which DDO it is or is not. Report this Post to the Staff
atrox001 Valued Member United States 311 Posts	Posted 01/17/2019 12:08 pm I think there are two main sources to use when trying to determine which Kennedy 1966 DDO you have, Wexler's site and James Wiles with the CONECA Master Listings. I always use the CONECA Master Listings. On that site your half matches the 66 BS DDO-013, FS-103. Larry Nienaber Edited by atrox001 01/17/2019 12:11 pm Report this Post to the Staff
