Escobar4find New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 05/15/2021 12:30 pm On this 50 cent coin the "HALF DOLLAR" looks DD. Any help would be much appreciated. I'm still having an issue as to DD and MD . Some of my coins look exactly like the so called DD pictures in the books but I'm told they are MD. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/15/2021 12:46 pm Chances are it is Machine Doubling. The sites show no DDO or DDR for the business strike halves. There is one n a Proof Half dollar, but your coin is not a proof. If your doubling looks like this, then it is Machine Doubling: Edited by coop 05/15/2021 1:14 pm Report this Post to the Staff
