coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/15/2021 3:27 pm Before you start celebrating, you might want to check on Wexler's site: http://doubleddie.com/1141429.html Houston we have a problem. 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. 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. So a lot of these are/where listed at one time. But issue with the doubled working hubs created a lot of doubled dies. So you have to check to see if you have an example of the listed ones below the three. If you match a one with two 'WW' (yes two W's) on the number, those are the problem ones.

taclough Valued Member United States 84 Posts	Posted 03/25/2021 12:27 am Nice find. Don't worry about what the na - sayers have commented. There are 37 different Double Dies listed in the CONECA files and we have 36 of them. Some of them may have a portion on them that may have been caused by a Master Die or Working Hub but there is enough difference to show they came from a unique die. The coin pictured in the OP is the Kennedy half dollar 1966 CONECA DDO-019 which the CherryPickers' Guide has designated as the FS-104. Regardless of what Wexler says, as long as the Cherrypicker's Guide has this variety within it's pages, you did good for just six bucks. Report this Post to the Staff
atrox001 Valued Member United States 311 Posts	Posted 03/25/2021 7:29 pm Taclough has brought up a very important point for the Kennedy 1966 DDO's." Some of them may have a portion on them that may have been caused by a Master Die or Working Hub but there is enough difference to show they came from a unique die." I am not sure why it was said "Houston we have a problem", "you might want to check on Wexler's site." The problem is on Wexler's site there are not many descriptions for there listed WDDO's, and attributions can't be made. I would use the CONECA listings for Half Dollars, or Variety Vista. Very nice find, double check DDO-013 and DDO-019. Report this Post to the Staff
