1966 Kennedy Half Doubled Or Tripled Die Obverse

Die scratches through WE TRUST match DDO-006. Good find!

VV only has it as a DDO not a TDO.

I think your half dollar would be the 66 BS DDO-006, Stage B in the CONECA Master Listings. See photos of the Stage B below from my collection. Note, the die scratches around the US of TRUST match your photo, the small die gouge next to the outside curve of the last 6 also matches (that die gouge can be seen on Stages A-D). Those die scratches on Stage B can't be seen on Stages A, C, and D. Note the die clash in front of the eye on Stage B. I think the most impressing doubling on the 66 DDO-006 can be seen on the hair strands above and around the ear. Nice find!

USSID requested my opinion on this:

I think atrox001 and Tanman nailed the attribution. You can see the die gouge on the right of the 6 on your photos and on the variety vista photo. atrox001 also pointed out many other markers for this die.

Thanks very much guys! !

Thanks! Yes, nice to see these things with the naked eye!

atrox001, Tanman2001, CoinHunter27, SilverCents, CoinTheTerm,

Would this qualify as a TDO?

@SilverCents That is the same coin, so it's appropriate to continue the conversation here, right?

It does look like there's some tripling, especially on the RU. It's possible the coin pictured on VV is a later die state where the tripling isn't visible, or whoever originally added this die to the listings missed it.

Yes, like Tanman2001 said this is the OP's coin. I don't think I can start a new thread with someone else's coin.

The lines on the R & E almost look like triple doubling.
