Stephen-P Valued Member Japan 294 Posts	Posted 01/30/2021 11:40 am Hey guys, just picked this up and wanted your opinion. I can't find any varieties on Variety Vista etc., but it definitely seems like extra thickness on Liberty, In God We Trust, and the date. Thanks for the input. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/30/2021 12:46 pm Well it is the last of the 40% silver coins and was only found in mint sets. Keep it safe. https://www.PCGS.com/coinfacts/coin.../images/6713 A little over 2 million struck. Edited by coop 01/30/2021 12:49 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Stephen-P Valued Member Japan 294 Posts	Posted 01/30/2021 1:07 pm Thanks Coop! I have plenty of '65 SMS sets and the strike on this one resembles those more than their MS counterparts in terms of luster and reflectivity. I'm really happy with it! Report this Post to the Staff

josephm99 Pillar of the Community United States 791 Posts	Posted 01/30/2021 4:20 pm Sure looks like a DDO to me. Nice find! Report this Post to the Staff
MOS0239 Pillar of the Community 1110 Posts	Posted 01/30/2021 5:11 pm It's not listed in my Cherypickers Guide either. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 01/30/2021 6:38 pm Looks like a minor DDO. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Stephen-P Valued Member Japan 294 Posts	Posted 01/31/2021 10:08 am Thanks for the comments. MOS0239- that's a good call, and I think accurate. This is the closest I can get with my zoom without getting blurry. Report this Post to the Staff
MOS0239 Pillar of the Community 1110 Posts	Posted 01/31/2021 10:42 am Hmmmm, can't tell. Do those notches look more distinct to you in hand? Report this Post to the Staff
Stephen-P Valued Member Japan 294 Posts	Posted 01/31/2021 12:18 pm Yes, I can see them easier in hand. They seem consistent with other minor Kennedy DDOs. The lettering also looks thicker than usual. Report this Post to the Staff
MOS0239 Pillar of the Community 1110 Posts	Posted 01/31/2021 12:25 pm It's a nice looking mint state coin. You could always submit it. Unless I'm overlooking it, I don't see many 70-D DDO's listed. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/31/2021 12:53 pm It maybe too minor to list. When you enlarge some hub doubling, there should be a spread. That enlarges the devices. Too minor sometimes don't get listed. Report this Post to the Staff
atrox001 Valued Member United States 311 Posts	Posted 01/31/2021 12:57 pm My opinion, for what its worth, is your half dollar would be the 70D MDO-001. In the CONECA Master Listings the description for the 70D MDO-001 was, Medium extra thickness on TY of LIBERTY, WE TRUST, and 70 of date, strength of doubling will vary depending upon hub and die state. Now that James Wiles doesn't maintain the Master Listings on Variety Vista any longer, it was turned lover to the CONECA web site control, and they have yet to add it to the site, it is not available to see yet. I have never seen a 70D DDO listed anywhere. Report this Post to the Staff

Stephen-P Valued Member Japan 294 Posts	Posted 02/02/2021 12:00 pm Your opinion looks to be worth a lot, atrox. Very specific and knowledgeable on the topic, and I appreciate it.. But I hope you're wrong! Haha. It's exciting to think of finding a completely new variety especially in such an uncommon date. Report this Post to the Staff
