Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10038 Posts	Posted 08/16/2020 12:16 pm OK...Variety Vista says the following Kennedy half variety is a legit DDR: 1974-D DDR-001, 1-R-II-C+VI The pics are below and here is the link: http://www.varietyvista.com/12%20Ke...4DDDR001.htm I see flat, shelf-like "steps," plus decreasing of device sizes. I certainly do not understand how this is a legit DDR and seeking an education about it. What is it I do not see/know? How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

Gincoin43 Pillar of the Community United States 1543 Posts	Posted 08/16/2020 12:33 pm That is Machine Doubling, if you read the markers at the bottom it is one thing to look for in an Eds of this DDR. The stars are doubled without mdd Edited by Gincoin43 08/16/2020 12:34 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Gincoin43 Pillar of the Community United States 1543 Posts	Posted 08/16/2020 12:37 pm You can also see the doubling in America easier in the mds Report this Post to the Staff
Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4399 Posts	Posted 08/16/2020 2:32 pm The coin pictured has both strong Machine Doubling and a minor DDR. The DDR is more noticeable on the stars but you can also see minor split serifs on the bottoms of the letters in AMERICA. As Gincoin pointed as well, the MDD is noted in the Stage A die markers.

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10038 Posts	Posted 08/17/2020 11:05 am Thanks. I should have looked at the later die stage pics as well where there is no MD.

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 08/20/2020 09:04 am I still can't see how they are different. Report this Post to the Staff
Gincoin43 Pillar of the Community United States 1543 Posts	Posted 08/20/2020 11:32 am It's quite a minor DD. On the pictures provided you can see a split on the E but the stars are really what is visible. I doubt I'd even notice if I had this DD in hand. Report this Post to the Staff
